i think they are little automatics and everyone knows that an automatic needs hydraulic pressure to work so that may be why it has to be going 18 mph because a typical auto has the engine running the pump on the trans this unit uses the driveline so you have to be moving for the pump to work just my thought

ok hey liner kit is 140 dollars for that motor you need three but that includes piston, liner,and rings a liner is 50 dollars if you need to replace them

right hand side of the block in the upper rear corner look at the pic i posted in the previous post

not sure joe there should be 8 digit model number on top of the serial number like this

let me no what the numbers are and i can tell you just about everything

ill check for sleeves and rings for you head bolts will be fine an overhaul kit is 600 that includes sleeves pistons rings gaskets bearings thats all i can find right now the engine number and serial number are stamped on the right hand side of the block in the upper rear corner

no problem there is a chance the motor will be damaged but if you pull the head and it is realy rusted then just get some sleeves and a set of rings drop the pan and go from there there real easy to work on but like i said set the rack right or you will be in trouble if the sleeves are just a little rust and its soaked with atf or pb then you can hone it out might burn a little oil but its a cheap fix

well were all friends here always around to help just sometimes a little slow but anyway i like to use atf to unstick an engine (i have to do that to my lincoln welder it has a 2-71 detroit damn cover blew of over the winter) but ive also seen marvel oil used and diesel but dont no how well it works the atf works as does pb blaster best thank to do is pull the injectors out and pour it down the hole and let it sit keep adding to it for a couple of days and start to work it back and forth dont force it take it slow last thing you want to do is mess up a ring land if that doesnt work youll have to pull the head and thats easy to do 53s dont have head gaskets just o rings for the water holes and a big rubber rope for the out side of the head and the block one thing you want to do is if you pull the head off or the injectors make sure you set the rack right or youll have a RUN AWAY and it ant fun there will be broken pieces every were i have a manual for the 53s so if you need help im here

your right scott it all comes down to proper maintenance both filters are good they each have there applications if you run on the highways the paper is great if you run on the dirt oil bath for long life i also think the oil bath is more quit but i could be wrong

an oil bath airfilter is the best filter you can get they filter far better than a paper filter paper filters dont filter fine dust and when they get dirty its worse they pull the dirt through ive seen it why do you think old motors last so long cause they have an oil bath i now my b is clean with its oil bath p.s just some useless info volkswagen never put an oil filter on there motors i mean the oil vws and when they were asked why they didnt put an oil filter on they said because it has an oil bath air filter with the oil bath it filters so good that the oil never got dirty ive owned many of vws and never lost a motor my sandrail that sees dirt all its life is still running strong after 11 years so there you go like i said just some useless info

if it runs backwards all you have to do is take the back cover off reset the timing for standard rotation and if i remember right thats it

does look like a 3-53

71 series detroits have center bolt valve covers the bolts look like to hand nobs on top 53 series have the bolts on the sides of the valve covers also 71s have carbon plates on the sides 53s just have a cover were the blower would go

how much do you want for it if you would sell it

anyone have a set of jakes for an end673 in my b63

happy thanksgiving everyone may it be the best holiday you have had

anyone no were i can get one of those 22 inch 10 bolt wheel for my b63 i am missing one

dam that sucks was just trying to get away with using the more common tires

can 22.5 tires fit on the 22 tube type rims was just wondering

it spit out water for a little bit then stoped and was alright i filled it back up and it did the same thing i think it was just over filled i hope

yea it was a fun trip its a my work right now going to run the over head on it fix the air leaks and the pod put some more batts on and strap them down and fix the two tires and i should be good to go

well i drove my b63 home today was a trip allright brake pod started leaking lost all the air backed the brakes off and kept going two tires were flat and wouldnt hold air so she shook all the way couldnt go over 50 mph but she want to go faster had to keep backing off the trottle filled her with water and after i got going it started to leak out the overflow all over the windshield had the hood off so i could keep an eye on things so with all the water on the windows i couldnt see had no power steering because i had no air pressure but she ran good and shifted good even with the out of round tires she was smooth riding but its a long frame rail truck i also lost the batteries on the way even though they were straped down but it was fun let me no what you think
