  1. Your welcome.. I can be hard for me to post info without either over doing it, or leaving some info out. :).
  2. It will.. here is a quick lesson.. On the white wires, which is 99 %of them Is alpha numeric codes.. exp. VJ1-12-.5.. that means... VECU J1 plug, pin 12, wire size .5... Exp #2: EJ2 - 10- .5... Same idea... EECU, J2 plug, pin 10, wire size .5. Does what I wrote make sense to you? This code can be used to check the wire with a DVOM from one end to the other. The book I posted is excellent and has many specs and flow charts for diagnostics.. Jojo
  3. $3.59 here for gas... Diesel is around $4.19
  4. ok.. got it now.. thats a lot,,
  5. .001'' difference? i dont see an issue... i really wish some E-6 guys will chime in.. on the E-7's I build, there is a .002'' allowable varience between adjacent cylinders, ( 1-3 + 4-6).. Based on this post, I dont see an issue that needs a counter bore cut..
  6. I see head bolts and not studs.. so the info on studs, I posted earlier does not apply to this engine.. I would be using a bore mic to check the diameter of the bore. do you have a good liner to put in the hole to check fitment? i beleive it is a .002'' crush on fitment..
  7. yep, deffinately a dropped liner..
  8. which cylinder? That is a correct way to measure. Did they straight edge the whole deck to look for warpage? was the deck totaly clean of debris when the depth mic was used? Im not trying to be a D-Bag.. Just asking Q's..
  9. its a dry liner engine, so why do you have to cut the counter bores? theres no coolant to keep secured. if the issue is liner height, did they measure the protrusion? if it is low, you can buy shims.. Heck, i forgot... is the liner pulled?
  10. I respect all of what you say, and the Nostalgia is Great!!.. If you buy an E-9... put it in your toy truck. and take it to shows and parades.. In the money maker.. ''6 In a Row Makes it Go!!'' I learned that phrase 2 years ago, when I picked up a Super liner 4 hours away and drove it to my customer.. He bought it, I was the picker/upper guy..
  11. sorry bud... I don't know..
  12. E-9's came in super liners.. I'm partial to you just fixing the 2 valve and going back to work..
  13. It's obvious that I am not Brilliant... But I watch the fake news every day. Heres a thought... since drugs and money and assets are confiscated by law enforcement at the southern border. why dont we take the drugs and drop them back over the border so they can be trafficked again and keep grabbing them and the money. and assets, then divide the money and assets, between ALL first responder departments and the local Hospitals,.. I mean, since J.B. has opened the border for ALL to come and soak up what our country has worked for, and get it for free.. just another one of my crazy thoughts..
  14. Sad... and disrespectful.
  15. So he died Tomorrow???
  16. if the sender is grounded to the tank, it may not be grounded to the truck.. because of the tank strap insulators. just for kicks, hook a jumper cable to the fuel cap or cross over valve and to the frame or neg. on the battery and see if it clears up.. Just having a little fun with this one,, Jojo
  17. Oh my F'n word.. well I did one almost a year ago.. Do you remember my pics of my burned legs?? its a short video, and shows the Idiot that I am.. I used the wrong bottle of fire juice.. My Legs get burned.url
  18. Thanks Bob.. I will work on it between the 2 engines I have in the shop. I usually use Sunday for Me and My Girl.. As far as the engine, I may just look for a 4 stroke 50+ H.P. engine.. I expect it will be around 3 G's, but with the cost of boats today,, It may be the right direction.. Hope you are having a Swinging weekend... Jojo
  19. I guess, what I mean by cracking the spit valve, is literally just enough to spit water,, To me that leak is less than all the other leaks on the whole truck an/or trailer.. as far as cycling the compressor too much,, its is a good point, but I think with a healthy system, it's ok.. Like I said, just my opinion.. here in my area, the air is always humid..
  20. I agree with a lot of the posts, Bob.. I have been picking on my boat that sank 11 years ago. Its a small boat, but its a cool little boat. I had to shovel out the dirt, and leaves and pecan tree sprouts out of it, the whole floor is rotted. I removed the old floor and have cleaned it pretty good.. yes, the floor needs a lot of help, but I will get it done. I will re-enforce the hull, then put 2 sheets of pressure treated ply wood on it, one as a sub floor and then the one that will have the carpet on it.. My big challenge is, do I re-biuld the 1969 mercury gas hog that was on it 65 HP 4 cyl. 2 stroke..
  21. Uhhh,,, I wonder who you might be thinkin' of ?? OK,,, It's Me !!
  22. I always thought that leaving the spit valve cracked open a little bit on the wet tank, is actually better than an air dryer. I also thought that I had too much water in air tanks, and done too many repairs to dryers in short intervals. Not to take away from regular pulls on the air tank cables when fueling, and at the end of the work day.. but just my opinion.
  23. Can you post a picture of the fan clutch.? And if it's an air clutch, a picture of the brass celenoid on the radiator frame?
  24. I did a bunch of work in Jan. 2022 on a few '87 Super liners. Here is an E-6 4 valve, picture. I hope it answers your question.. Jojo
  25. I am always amazed at how big and strong the Mack's in your country and New Zealand look, and with the freight behind them.. I wonder what it would be like to drive those loads in your world.. Awesome!! Jojo
