Guess I was pointing out the cam timing is fixed! I believe the issue is the amount the valves can be opened and the displacement of the engine! The engine can’t get rid of all of the compression with such a small bump on the cam ! Oil escape on the shaft is a factor as mentioned thou! Valve adjustment is important I have experienced if you set tight or under spec the better the braking effect! How ever the Tighter the set the more mindedful you have to be to over speed!

THATS IT! YOUR FIRED!

Fuel timing has no bearing on the dynatard

You pretty much got to drive in the top of the tack to get anything out of it stock! as joey stated its not a bad engine the reliability is there ! It lacks the gidy up go! due to the exhaust system and the cam!

I feel sorry for anybody that owns these junks. The other trucks in the Fleet seem to suffer from the same poor mpg and no power. An old R model would run circles around this p.o.s Yup! Trett ! be happy your just driving and not owning! The mileage and power are the trade mark!

Too pricey ! Ball hone much cheaper ! If your going to just rering its a matter of scuffing! and the Key = And a good hard run in! meaning get it up to temp and drive it with a load on its back! Just my opinion! best break in bar non!

You can also use anaerobic sealant on the liner! I have seen this done and it works as well if not better than silicone! BUT you need to make sure the ledge is clean and dri! If you haven't turned the engine Clamp the liners and pull the slugs! If you don't have to much ridge on the liners just lightly hone them and rering it on the cheap! Liner protrusion is important! you want no less that 24 up to 30 is acceptable! from my experience! If you got less than 24 I suggest you pull the liners and shim them! Joey will be able to school you on this he has all the skills and tools to do this!

I agree joey I just went thru the skunky gas issue with mine I wish I had gotten the propane option at that point! How ever got it running again!
-
yup thats how I'm set up works great ! flip the main off flip on the 30 amp and fire up! I shut down all the heavy draws ( heat - hot water- and don't use the oven ! All is good ! can even watch the soap opps if you want as long as you got your fiber!
-
yup its unfortunate ! I only ever rebuilt one of these ! They were a bullet proof little engines! Very few issues! And because of this, as mentioned parts were always an issue!
