fjh Posted Sunday at 09:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:46 PM 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! 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 09:51 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 09:51 PM 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. 🍻 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjh Posted Sunday at 10:03 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:03 PM I can’t swear to it how ever if the part came off the engine should fit back on! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 10:09 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 10:09 PM 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..

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 Posted Sunday at 11:46 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:46 PM 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. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted Sunday at 11:49 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:49 PM 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.

Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM 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. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:16 AM 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. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM 4 hours ago, Joey Mack said: 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 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So You do have the tang drive pump ! do you got all the bits for that? drive plate ect! I have had little to no experience with this set up on a 6 only the v eight! so halic is the man here! the plug on the housing peek hole may need to come out!in order to stuff the pump on! On the v eight it had a roll pin to establish the no 1! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75886-i-dont-know-how-to-flow-time-my-injpump/page/2/#findComment-581417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago removing the "inspection hole plug" helps for line up. found back in the day if a light film of high tack was put on the injection pump then place the gasket on pump, life was easier. don't know if high tack still around with all the new plastic silicone adhesives. able to rotate pump enough to engage drive gear without screwing up a gasket. then out came the extremely modified 3/4box wrench for the top bolt in the back.

Joey Mack Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago No piston cooling nozzles, i mounted the oil manifold today. I wasnt holding my tongue right. Thanks for checking in on this. Truth is ,,,, since i never built one of these, the bolt-on stuff was a challenge for me. Crazy part is that i built the long block without a concern. I guess because i have built more than 30 Mack engines after 1989, and saw a lot of similar/standard procedures. If that makes sense. My wife says, I doubt myself too much. Anyway.. I will be back here when I flow time the injection pump. Im greatful for you guys..
