I dont know how to flow time my inj.pump

Yup I think you’re ok bro ! The gasket change was much earlier! I believe! Use the gasket that doesn’t cover any holes should be fine!

[Joey Mack]

Thanks Bud. I will look again tomorrow. I have the day off from work, so I will make a good go of it.  I have a parts engine to look at again as well. If I ever do another 673, i will be better prepared.  🍻

[fjh]

I can’t swear to it how ever if the part came off the engine should fit back on!

[Joey Mack]

True.  But this engine was a basket case when I got it. I wish I took pictures of it and the many boxes of parts when i went to get it..  

[fjh]

Btdt box of parts make it run!

[Joey Mack]

here is what the basket case looks like now. definately not a rattle can rebuild..

terry, I may be wrong. I went back out there to look again..  Like I said, I have never built one of these. 

If You flip the top gasket upside down , do the holes line up with one hole not used ?

[Joey Mack]

I think so.. i guess i was thinking i needed a tall filter stand for spin on filters.  I will look again tomorrow.  I had to walk away.  

[mechohaulic]

will you be there when engine installed and being fired up for first time ??  I was more nervous on a 673 complete rebuild first fire up then when my wife gave birth to our daughter. Doctors were there for problems (thankfully none) ;; I was the "doctor" on engine birth. LOL

a walk away has proven positive move numerous  times. better than over taxed brain making errors.

[Joey Mack]

I should be there.. it will be a while.  The B frame is painted and on stands. I did the TRD-72  for it 3 years ago.  There is a lot more to be done. Like, all the hoses.. that will be a treat.  I have the old ones.

Dave.. I wish you were here to teach me ..

fun part of building is that it's always a learning experience for all ;no matter how many years are put in. when it gets to be "I know it all " : then it's time to find an office job.

You would have had a great time back in mid seventies being around this youngster who proved the Mack factory engineers wrong.  being told NO way can a Mack MB have an engine brake installed. and the Fire Dept says then keep the truck. a little bit of chop/channel and the Jacobs engine brake roared to life. first one of it's kind. the fun days of experimenting with other people money LOL

[Joey Mack]

No. Its not being converted to spin ons.. I thought i had made a mistake identifying the oil manifold mounting.  When i went to my Book I was looking at the ESI section, and thought I had the wrong parts. my lack of knowledge on these engines is why im asking questions. Im getting close to finishing it and dont need to mess up now. The owner wants his engine soon.

Another thing I need is the front engine mount insulator. My old one is junk and PAI has a 1 pc. Half round Rubber insulator for sale, i guess I buy 2 of them. Do you guys know of a better option. I did search the web. All i see are half round's.  

rubber insulator for front engine mount is a two piece setup ,  U shaped 1in +- not square or round rubber ? one piece fits in front crossmember saddle , second piece identical in shape fits in the top half of hold down bracket with two 1/2 or 5/8 ? Allen head bolts .  if you have top half of mount , the insulator in it is what you are looking for X2

[Joey Mack]

The one i pulled out was one piece. But i see why it should be 2 pc.

got me on that one! running the brain cell rolodex; round doughnut style which slipped onto front cover -sat in saddle then top clamp compressed the rubber ???
