exactly !! Brocky..

Here in N.C. you get a letter thats lets you know that your D.O.T. phys. is due.. then after it expires, you have 90 day's to get it done before they pull your C.D.L.... Because I don't drive for a living anymore, I was able to sign a doctors note/form/ whatever it is,,, and still have my Class 'A', without a D.O.T. card in my wallet.. Of course if I get back in the Saddle, I will have to get my D.O.T. card.. Jojo

Sorry,, I dont know either..

I check my journals too, I use plastigauge and calipers as needed..

Yep. Hopefully the crank is stamped with, Std. Or the cut size.. I have seen cranks with different sizes journals on one crank..

I used to buy stuff from them, but the last time I went there, the emblems were all the Volvo style bull dogs.. so I stopped buying there.. I have about 12 hats, some coffee cups, 8 trucks, and a bunch of small trinkets..

JoeH, I have been keeping a list for decades... It work's,!!! I get stuff done, and transfer the incomplete to-dos to the next days list.. My wife gives me crap about it, but I get more done than she realizes, or even cares about.. .. I'm a list guy.... Jojo

they will have robots to do the work,, wonder if robots can wipe butt's too ?? it's coming, stick around Mech, to see the sh!tshow... Jojo

just make sure you get any and all of your old parts back.. You may need them later when you find a shop that CAN fix it.. I have a turbo shop an hour away. He is from Germany and some how can re-build older turbos and he even had a turbo for a 22 year old Isuzu Diesel I rebuilt, on his shelf..

Can you go in the EECU and check the smart fan setting and engine brake on/off setting?

was the E.E.C.U. replaced/flashed right before this happened?

I'm Glad that you found some Humor in that mess.. I hope you are not hurt.. Good Luck Bud.. Jojo

I have 2 sets of these, bought them over 20 years ago from 'Wal-Mart' of all places.. I still use them and I have heated and bent some of them for B.S. jobs like the one in front of you.. Good Luck, Jojo

You may want to start your own thread on this topic.. You can copy and paste your posting, I will paste mine too. I bet you get more replies... Jojo

If you believe they have moved,,,, Replace them !! there are 2 essential tools for this job.. the long black one is a depth gauge and alingment checker.. It is used from the bottom with the pan down.. the silver tool can also be used to check them when the heads are off.. It is the tool you need.. it is also the installer.. there are 3 types of H-rings available, std. and 2 that are oversized.. I think one is .002'' and the other is .005''.. they are for bores that had H-Rings move.. the 3rd thing you will need is the sleeve retainer fluid.. ''Winging this repair will cost you a cam shaft and all the labor to pull the heads and do it right.. It only takes 1 miss-aligned H-ring... Jojo

Well I have made more progress on The '48... and have supper smoking, and a cold one in my hand.. It's a good 3 day weekend 'round here... jojo

Bob,,, How 'bout you just retire??? These Sh!tboxes are going to give you a stroke or worse... I am quite sure you have earned the right to hang the keys up.. Happy Weekend Bud,,, Jojo

my Dad was also a Vietnam vet who came home in '68.. I popped out 27 Apr.1969... He didnt tell me much but I remember how he reacted to certain things, one in particular was,,, anything about ''Jane Fonda'' .. I'm am very proud of my Fathers service.. He doesn't know how proud I am, because I do NOT bring it up.. God Bless America !! and god Bless the Service members that protect our Constitution..

Thanks bud.. I am weak on that knowledge, mostly because the Bulk of my knowledge is E-7 and E-Tech's.. and as you know I have the timing tool for the Robert Bosch pumps,,,, and E-Tech's are,,, well,,, E-Tech's... the few other diesels I built had timing marks and windows in the Inj. pump, to set to a certain degree.. ie: the John Deere 3179's I built and an Isuzu 4 cyl. 4HE1... Jojo

I really wish I knew how to ''flow-time''.. I read about how to do it, and I have a svc. manual that shows how.. I always thought that you needed a pump that can produce 400+ PSI.. Am I mistaken?

the lash 'results',,, is that what it was before you adjusted them? Did you start on #1 TDC? you can be 180 degrees off if not.. there is an easy way to tell if you are up on #1.. Jojo

ok..

any chance the marks are on the flywheel in that year?? i dont know when they started using the flywheel.

I'm right there with you rebel.. Now when I catch a Opossum, I take it to a ''black neighborhood'' and let him out.. Those folks eat them, so I am doing my part to cut their High cost for meat.. I have caught 5 cats in the last 10 months,, I let ''animal control come get my trap, then they literally bring my trap back, and set it over the fence.. No more rats since i got rid of my 50 chickens.. I used to sit out there with my .22 revolver, loaded with shot shells and pick them off.. some nights I would get 6 of them.. I put a small bell on the chicken feeder, so that I could here them when they would hang from the feeder to 'feed'.... BLAM !!!

I knew someone would clarify this.. Salpolit,,,, Meet FJH...
