Popular Post Freightrain Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM Author Popular Post Share Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM Ya, best guess. I put plenty in it during assembly. The injectors are dry so no chance of it lighting off yet. Should be ready this weekend. 4 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post Freightrain Posted Friday at 12:50 AM Author Popular Post Share Posted Friday at 12:50 AM I couldn't take it....I had to light it off tonight. Primed it up with fuel and it took right off. Now to get radiator hooked up so it can run with water. 5 3 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted Friday at 02:35 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:35 PM Once I primed it, it starts instantly. It took a few tries and pumping primer to get it to that point. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago Well, one step forward, one step back. The nuts on the turbo studs were marginal so I bought new locking nuts. As I was just snugging the last one.....zip.....stud came loose. 🤦 So off comes the turbo and I used heat to remove the other three studs to see there was barely any rust holding them into the manifold either. 🤦 Glad I hadn't folded the lock tabs on the exhaust manifold studs😲 Guess I will be installing helicoils in all four as the rest were not much to look at also once I unscrewed them. Ya, M10x1.5 threads. Why? Just because the stud threads for the nuts were m10x1.25. Ya, that is about the most odd thread ever. Just you can't get them at the local Ace hardware. Lucky for me I have two major bolt houses and it was something they carry. So, no more running until I get this to work and use the mill so they are nice and straight so the studs fit the turbo. Well, at least it wasn't in the truck? The last stud is being a real pisser. Letting cool and try later. I don't want to crack the manifold! I did loosen it off the motor so it could move around easier. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
