    I am not sure on the no. of head bolts on which engine, but i do know of taking a thermodyne engine with the same no. of head bolts as the maxidyne, putting the fire ring liners in and scoring the head for the fire ring, and your good to go! terry

    If you hear a rush of air then they lock up, it is the footvalve, just changed one on the R model i am driving. I have seen it before, always have been the footvalve. terry

    AS far as i'm concerned the 1070 12 speed is the best trany mack has ever made! Terry

    I believe to use that kit you have to score the heads for the fire rings. terry

    The way i have always done it is to have the splice right in the middle of trunnion bolts, then there is no joint on either side of the trunnion, no flexing on the welds that way. Terry

    Have seen alot of macks overhauled and never seen the push rods or injectors put back in the same cylinder. When you get a new injector it is not numbered according to the cylinder, you can ream the injector tube out with a special reamer, put a new washer on injector tip and your good to go. Also the two nuts that hold injector does not torque that tight, don't have the specs. in front of me right now. Terry

    They are around the tip on the flat spot on the injector bottom. Terry

    The cloth or paper seal is only a dirt/dust shield, there are copper washers that go on the bottom of injector to seal combustion, they are probably stuck in the injector tube, in the head. Terry

    The 237/285 horse injector lines will not go on the older style engine, the injector ends are different size. terry

    The Quad box in the B422 won't even bolt up to the diesel flywheel housing, with a 9.00 rear even a double over tri plex or quad is not going to get you any road speed,You need a rear with at least a 6.00 or under ratio. Being it was a B68 it had a higher turning gas engine that is why the deeper rearend. Terry

    In the early pics of that truck it had the regular B61 hood and radiator, it was probably changed some time in its life to the wider radiator. The B615 model had the bigger radiator,but the same length hood and no fender extensions. Terry

    It is hard to use one of them they tend to squeeze down, i mark a circle all way around with a pen. then drill about a 3/16 hole about 2 inches apart all the way around, then cut hole to hole with a hacksaw, i have done alot this way. Terry

    Just cut 3/4 inch off of the 8 1/4 inch long one! Have done that many times. terry

    Why would you want to save the seal ? Would't you put a new one in when you pull the hub/ terry

    Packer any more info on that mack we were trying to figure out what it was? Terry

    Looks like an LJ or LF with the home made fenders but they done a pretty good job on them. Terry
  23. terry
    Looks like some kind of L model, need a few more pics.looks like somebody might have made the front fenders, how does the rest of it look? Is it an oil field truck? Is it for sale? Terry

    Rob i believe if you would have used a 673 engine you can put the fire ring liners in it and have the heads scored for the fire ring, you can have an old style engine with the newer style head gasket. terry
