Oil leaking from my bottom manifold bolts E7-AMI370
Joey Mack replied to petehall12's topic in Engine and Transmission
Loosen 2 or 3 lines at the head and pump the primer till they bleed, tighten back down 25 lbft,, and fire it up. Foot to the floor and rev it up to clear it out.. -
I saw a report on Fox today where the firefighters were told to stand down for an hour plus in some areas.. then a fire that was put out, was not tended too and it cranked back up and caused a lot of destruction.. The report also sid the reseviors are still empty....
-
Ok..... that adds more info.. do you have other issues?
-
Ok... its 2 wires in 1/4" loom running down the left side radiator and may be coiled up and zip tied out of the way.
-
The A.A.T.S. is where fjh said, there is a thin bracket with a 1/2" hole. It clips in the hole. I forget, but I think its on the bottom left radiator frame area..
-
Good deal. The ground bolt in front of the starter is notorious for comming loose. When you take the eyelets off, scrape the heat shrink glue offbof them. You may want to look at the procedures for a 9-2 code.. I have posted it before, so maybey search it out on here...
-
In addition to fjh's procedures, can you carefully unplug the engine positon sensor while its running, and see if it shuts down, also do the same at the RPM TDC sensor in the flywheel housing. If you un plug one and the engine shuts down, check the other sensor and its wires for damage. A common issue is at the RPM TDC sensor wires. Many times i have found damaged wires inside the loom, if the loom is even still there, also, found weak contact inside the plugs.

Bob... I just re-read my reaction to your post about .003".. I think I came off as a smarta$$.... Sorry about that, I was complimenting freightrains ability, and not trying to discount you.. 😅
-
Pryor to cleaning the regulator , was air building in 1 tank and not the other even after the 1st tank was filled past 90 PSI?
-
Can you hook shop air to the bottom tank and listen for leaks.. ?
-
Yes Bob. .003" is thinner than paper. Freightrain knows what hes doin and what he's got. There are set limits for a reason. But this engine was running without blowby under the heads, so as he said, it will run again...
-
I thought the same thing Bob.. 🍻
-
Exactly!!! Fjh
-
Yes sir... My knowledge is only what Mack taught me. I Have only built stock Mack engines by the book. I have not ever colored outside the lines.. With that said, even though my engines STAY running... I wish I knew how to make small changes to improve performance..
-
Good points as usual, fjh.. it was running.
-
Just curious. I dont have my book in front of me, how would that affect the height of the piston at TDC? Seems to me you would have a bit more compression, but not be too close to the valves.
-
Im guessing that when the bores were cut, the deck was as well...
-
Do any of the shops near you have a counter bore cutting service? I did a few house calls to cut them at Mack years ago. I own one now, but its over 3 grand to buy the tool.

Oh my suffering Christ... and no Bra..... Oh my suffering Christ.!!

E7 350hp to 500hp that will live
Joey Mack replied to mackdaddytruckfixer's topic in Engine and Transmission
Thats amazing. When I pulled MDrives out, i could pick them up and put them on a pallet for core returns.. how could a trans that light be strong enough to handle huge torque and truck trains as described? Must be a great engineering accomplishment... I havent a clue, just sayin.. -

Joey Mack replied to mackdaddytruckfixer's topic in Engine and Transmission
How big would the transmission be, and the axles? I bet you would lose 3000 lb's of freight weight to be legal here in the U.S. just tossin my silly thoughts out there... -
Mystery Transmission Valve
Joey Mack replied to Lueke's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
There is no trans pressure switch.. gear box pressure is vented, not monitored... -
That was such an innocent show to watch.. The rebels that they were is childs play compared to what teens are doing today...
