well on my way to work today heard a funny noise and my truck started leaking oil really bad , so i just pulled it apart and the kdp fell out and broke my case , but it didn't get my cam , she is still running just fine , guess i should of fixed that a few months ago

 

I've got the dowels to hold the tappets if you are gonna yank the cam to swap case. Probably want to reset the timing when you do it. If you want a hand, let me know.

 

Sorry to hear that Rob - probably a good thing your a mechanic

I would lend a hand and/or bs if you were closer

 

arrrgh bummer

 

I have a dowel kit too-no trough though. But Tate is considerably closer than me.

 

Good chance to change the cam while in that far.

 

I thought the exact same thing. If you buy a cam get a colt stage 3 cam. It works pretty nice in Tate's truck. Wakes up the mid-top end power range quite abit. I have a few decent 12v-24v cores laying around. I want to put one into my 10, just to see what happens

 

Is this sort of like the shoe makers kids feet go bare??

Well at least you have a few spare motor's around at least one of them should have a good timing cover. Still sucks that it happened.

 

Rob, you going to rebuild the motor? Maybe pull the motor and throw on some fresh paint. Make it all shiney again, its just parts and time/beer. Better than new at least.

 

she is fixed now ,,, when i do the twins and the cam , headstuds, and the body and paint i will pull the engine out and fix it with JB weld and rtv ,,,

 

Dont pull the motor for just a cam! Mine has been out for over a year.

 

Good to hear buddy that you're all fixed and burning diesel again.

 

well i am going to pull the engine and do a bunch of things to it , but i and going to put a Adjustable Pump Gear in the engine right soon hear as the timing sliped when the pin feel in so i will fix it for good ,

 

Which/who's gear you buying?

We should get it that gear measured up so we can build our own gear down the road. I have to buy a timing gear shortly as well. A decent machine shop should be able to do the work. The engine gearbox cover plate is easy, the gear is abit more work. I want to get a few other pieces built as well. Hopefully we can get the mains gridle and few other bits and pieces built locally and save a few $$$.

 

ya i was thinking the same thing
