  1. The issue of Fuel Rate mm³ /stroke seem to be a mystery. What is the STROKE in the measurement?
  2. Waooo am back for the reports. It isn't easy. It has been bags and bags of experience. Searching the internet from East to west, north to south. I guess no one has troubled and queried google recently the way I did. I sincerely wish to thank you guys for your unquantifiable replies and assistance. You encouragement gave me the power to dare E6 350hp 2V mack engine. During the journey to standard restoration, I discovered a lot of changes has been made to the system improperly. The turbo reads 4LEK 311644. I could not get detailed info about the turbo except china adverts for the turbo, I intent to install gauge to check the boost. The pyrometer has also been removed. All cooling system electronics are also gone. I intend to refit them one by one. The issue now is the injection pump. The injector pump technician here only knows how to tear down and change the plungers. He does not know what is port closure even delivery rate and other injection terms so i need to be involved to get it to standard. 1. My engine plate reads 23° BTC but ambac injection Pump reads port closing at 21°. Is this 21° PC reference to engine flywheel or somewhere else. (I use degree wheel) 2. The governor of the amback injector seem to have been tampered so I need to find out the appropriate quantity of diesel to be delivered to achieve 350hp at the governed speed. My engine plate says fuel rate at advertised hp is 190 mm³ /stroke. How do I convert this to liters /minute. Is it per compression stroke and how many seconds or minutes elapsed during one stroke? Or is there another way of determining the quantity of gasoline to be delivered into the combustion chamber for appropriate performance. 3. I intend to use PRESSURE TIMING METHOD to check port closure. Where can I get 600psi pump. Many that i have seen online are less than 150psi. 4. Where can i buy overflow valve? The one on the truck does not maintain pressure. The ball valve seem to have warn.
  3. Maybe you will wait longer cos am striving to make a difference.
  4. They do not offer repair services. I even demanded to be trained, they replied that they do not offer such service except parts sale.
  5. They sell parts that seem to be genuine. They don't offer technical support for the old bulls.
  6. If they have choice they will. Technicians frustrate the owners here.
  7. It is really tough. From fake China and Indian parts to untrained technicians. I brought my data from the book pages you sent me and my technician was looking at me like a stupid person who does not know that they work without data. I have to insist on my data and standard procedure. I have bought a complete volume of TS442 10/67 TO 10/79 from amazon. I have also bought telescopic bore gauge, micrometer, Milwaukee 2763-22 M18 FUEL 1/2" High-Torque Impact Wrench, toque wrench and many others. I must confess that I am not understanding all the technical explanations in the TS442 highway vehicle service manual and neither do the technicians here. I will be coming up with question for things i do not understand. For me mack remains the bull and that's the way to go. Thanks bro.
  8. Thanks I really appreciate your information.
  9. The bearings are stamped 8331 STD. One of it showed that it has been seriously scrapped including the crankshaft. So I need to under size the crankshaft to 010 or 020. But i need to know the diameter of the sizes so as to help me know what am getting during the under sizing.
  10. It is really a big challenge in this part of the world to get a trained or certified mack technician. This has made it too frustrating that many people are dumping their mack trucks because the challenge of keeping mack truck running here is much. I like venturing where others has backed out cos I know it is a matter of knowledge. I do hope bigmacktrucks will be a wonderful resource. I don't intend to quit mack.
  11. I pulled my E6 350 2v engine apart cos it is swallowing oil in liters. But I have some challenges at the course of my rebuild. What is the standard diameter of E6 crankshaft? What is the diameter of .010 crankshaft? Please assist.
  12. Mack global,I didn't see the the original discussion(about liner removal) I'm a certified welder and an an auto mechanic,but not a diesel mechanic.in the old days they used to pack the liner with dry ice(to shrink it) and drive it or jack it up from below. I'm thinking  you want a way to weld a bar across the bore of the liner and pull it out from above with a hoist?  Of course assuming you are throwing it away! If so and the liner is hardened  steel(as most are,a good welding electrode would be 7018,low hydrogen 1/8 rod at around 120/ 125 amps dc electrode  positive. If the liner is stainless steel you could use 308/16 stainless rod or nickel rod trade name "ni rod" electrode positive(i think) the box will tell you the preferred polarity and amperage. It  has been 40 years  since I've used nickel or stainless rod, my memory is a little fuzzy! I'm assuming you are using a "stick welder" if you're  using mig  process you will have to ask your supplier  for the proper wire roll for the metal  you are welding. Hope that helps!

      Mack global,I just saw you're  other post concerning "stick welding" .There are numerous videos. On  u tube showing how to stick weld.if  you are working in a remote area without electricity you will need to get a petrol or diesel powered generator/welder.They all function as both a welder and a generator. Some will do both at the same time (like when you need lights,or a grinder or drill).I would suggest that you practice on some pieces of scrap iron before you weld on the liner.

  13. I want to buy rings, sleeves, bearings and other engine parts from this company NYC OF AMERICA PARTS. I saw their catalog online. Has anyone bought from them, Do they have reliable parts? Please comment.
