after looking at them piston (after they were clean) ......I thing i have been babying mine to much.

YOU have more then Double the miles, probably double the timing, definitely more fuel and air..............and them piston looked good!

So what did your pump timing come out too, or did you get around to using the dial indicator?

Nice videos even with a blurry hose


Flash.

 

We didn't have time to check timing...the gear is bumped one tooth and the pump is halfway to the head. It's been farther. With those settings, I've seen my 1500* pyro pegged time and time again which says two things:

1-these old mills are tough

2-the biggest restriction a 12v faces is the 12v head itself. Even with my comically huge intercooler, it'll still get smokin hot on stock injectors.


sorry about poor vid quality. just crank it up and listen

 

What kind of fluctuation are you seeing? My Cummins thermostat wanders slowly back and forth about 1/2" on the gauge in cold weather if the fan is on the truck.

 

More fluctuation than I wantI'm gonna bleed it again today and close the winter flaps...once I get my alternator fixed

Oh, got 'er buttoned up two hours before this started:

 

Did you check on this Greg? Glad its back running more decentish.

 

Mine has a starter / generator! Old school, just like my truck!

Greg, I had a thought on the heat problem, sent you a PM!

 

Head's toast. Bubbles in the overflow. Truck's parked. Ugh. Happy New Year.

 

Sorry to hear that. Looks like your luck is about as good as mine, all bad or NONE......

 

Sorry to hear that man. P-Pump Time? Find you a good motor and get it built up right maybe?

 

Aw, man. It was worth a shot anyway.

 

Yup. I've spent a hundred bucks more foolishly in the past I'm done spending money on this truck, though. She's e-bay bound...in pieces

 

Yep. Unfortunately I don't think that truck is worth a new head.

Just don't go 24 valve on us.

 

But the 24v side is so pleasing. Come on over Greg. You'd be Welcome.

 

Pull it back off and smear JB Weld in the cracks. It'll run for a while that way.

 

Man thats to bad...........

Buy you, one of those diesel fired heaters and (ment to keep ya warm when the truck is off...in cab heaters)
and then just remove the thurm..............No what, you would still need to stop the coolant from being forced into the over flow

You allmost made it to 500,000
to bad you couldn''t find a use head some wares.......................................
