    On the old engines that used the lead wire on the crank the crank had a slinger for throwing the oil out and that is what kelp the oil from leaking but the lead wire seal was only a dust seal.We pull the cover off ever time we did a clutch and rolled a now wire in the cover.A later seal cover could be used there but the seal was a very narrow seal because the crank was short there as a sealing area.

    Variable van turbo has to be calibrated to boost or not by ECM.There is no quick answer for this.)3 had this and even when its right some times it sounds like its loosing boost.

    If you asking for help i would say remove the cable from the lever and then move the lever all the way and see if it kills engine.If it does the you can readjust the cable.

    I remember that cable and valve on some old macks.It shut the fuel supply off instead of moving the rack to a no fuel position.For a hung or frozen rack it may be hard to shut the engine down.

    I have a Mf 254 or 253 that has a clutch switch and the wiring is messed up so i cant tell what it does.I would think its for not letting the pto turn if its in gear while starting the engine.

    A man that i worked with a few years back had a 02 E7 that was same way.It would start cold but not hot.i check the voltage at cranking and it was holding at 10.5 volts.I did not have time to do any more being i was trying to run a dump truck my self so i told him to take it to mack.First thing they did was replace the starter and no more problem after that.The strter sound like it was turn engine good to me when hot but any way he be ok now.

    At least the skeeters will leave us along for a few days.It was 4 degrees here last night.

    He is saying it melts the pistons.Fast timing puts more heat in the pistons because the fire is on top of the pistons longer with fast timing.Slow timing is a cooler piston but hotter valves a exhaust is hotter after it leaves the heads.
  11. theakerstwo
    I was thinking it timed at 8 degrees
  12. theakerstwo
    That engine does not time fast so maybe the timing marks are incorrect.
  13. theakerstwo
    Sucking air in the intake as well as fast timing will run exhaust temp hi also.Also hi compression due to over surface head or block is not good for it.

    Well called them jar flys.We also used the lavas from a wasp nest for fish bait when i was a kid.

    This truck did have shutters till i installed a 285 engine and the cooler tubes go thru the headlight panels and connect to the larger air cleaner and to the intake.This was a single axle truck that i installed a box on the back and made a camper for hunting.It was some spared parts i had.I installed a eaton ten speed and a three speed behind it for more speed.

    Here is my B model with a later engine and air/air cooler on it.Its a KW cooler turned up side down.
  21. theakerstwo
    It dont hurt my feelings
  22. theakerstwo
    and larger brgs.
  23. theakerstwo
    I would be only guessing on this but i tought a 285 was always a two valve
  24. theakerstwo
    Me also to
  25. theakerstwo
    I have a B 61 now and i put a 285 in it years ago.It has just two spin on filters on it.Both are full flow and no by/pass.The starter is on the left side also.Pleny of room.
