at work we use fram, luberfiner, or fleetguard, whatever comes in the supply system. i've got a couple of c series with 9k hours on them with no trouble at all, nothing filter or oil related. i wont run it on MY engine, but here, i have little choice.

 

I see it's got a proper injection pump on it. Want me to give a guest lecture on unauthorized tampering?

 

my students and manager have already asked me what mods i am going to do to it. i think this one will stay stock.

 

Oh yea right.I believe that when I see it. Do you want me to send you a Fleetguard Filter?lol

 

no thanks cindy. i'll take care of it, there isnt even oil in the motor yet.

 

dodgezilla04, with this bunch nothing is above reproach. Sorry, couldn't help it the devil came out in me earlier!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! Teach the ones who want the knowledge.

 

no worries, i spend alot of my time here being a nuisance as well.

 

thats funny right there I dont care who ya are

 

that may be funny, but it is only a 4 year apprenticeship! sure there are lots of core engines laying around for them to practice on, but come on, i dont have a bunch of service bays. i do have a large overhead bridge crane that would help pull the body off the frame if i show them the CTD, that will be an engine and skill that is useful for many years to come.

 

dodgezilla,

Ya sure you betcha, thats vun fine looking engine.
Could not resist that, seein you are in Poulsbo WA.

Realy a nice engine you have for the students to learn on. Way to go.

 

thanks. 3 weeks ago, it showed up in a crate. I bought it from cummins as a training engine. it had 2 melted pistons, had been left partially dissassembled outside, had rusted up. pistons were stuck in the bores. i had to hone and recrosshatch the cylinders. polish the crank on the lathe. basically just clean up the mess. still have to rebuilt the injectors, gonna need new nozzles though.

so that is where i have gotten it in 3 weeks for a grand total of..............$3300, that is purchase price, shipping, and repair parts.

 

You know I had to give you some flack over that

 

it was totally expected. thanks for paying attention to me. I was getting lonely.

 

Anytime!I'm watching out for ya.
Can't have you getting lonely around there.
