  1. That's pretty much every Australian work site that I have ever worked on Paul
  2. Happy birthday to you blokes Paul
  3. Need a wire wheel like this on a grinder Really work well and bite right in, always wear overalls or coveralls or what ever you call them Or a leather apron Had a mate using a wire wheel on a grinder Went for a pee, a wire had come off the wheel and gone through his clothing and fore skin of his old fella, ouch Paul
  4. Ah, everything cooked to golden black Perfect, nothing like a bit of charcoal to keep the insides regular I get the same report from my wife and family friends when were having a get together Paul
  5. Oh dear, first world problems You can tell we don't have enough to worry about when people worry about this Did you know that day lights saving was a NewZealand invention ? Apparently some government worker liked to chase butterflies or bugs of some description and daylights saving gave him more time after work to go on butterfly watching trips It's a funny old world, the stuff we worry about is ridiculous at times Paul
  6. Have a great day Vlad, get rotten as a chop 🍻🍾🥳 Paul
  7. This is exactly what I use, let it sit for while to sort of cure I make sure the rocker covers are nice and straight and panel beat them into shape if needed Zero leaking issues Oh and I make sure they are spotlessly clean, almost like a mirror Noticed the logo has changed and the Indian head is missing, must be offensive in todays world, Trump might sort that as well Paul
  8. Sounds like air in fuel issue Could compression test the motor Paul
  9. Not a E6 Mack motor , they last for ever , Barry we need a R model one of these picture things Or a DM or U Model for this thread Back in the dim dark days when dinodoors (that's how my boy said when he was maybe 3 years of age) some of the early diesels had timing chains for the injector pump and cam etc These old buckets of bolts needed regular adjustment to keep them starting and running Starting old diesels was a big enough drama Now on a old Cat diesel motor they need timing because the lifters in those old injector pumps are like lifters on valves, if the the clearance is to great the timimg is to retarded and if the clearance is to small the timing is adavanced On a E6 Mack motor, they are set and forget Cummins are like a Cat as are 2 stroke Detroit's Mack motors are spot on once set correctly All those other buckets of bolts need timing adjustment If your gears are that badly worn your gunna have a lot bigger issue like no oil pressure or bent valves Anyway, enough waffle from me Go and check the timing Paul
  10. Unless someone has tampered with the injector pump it shouldn't need adjustment They are all gear driven so it shouldn't of moved Paul
  11. Plug is to pulled and the housing greased from the fitting underneath until grease comes out the plug on top Bolt in the spring is a center bolt and won't have a head hanging out the top The head is in the casting you grease, that will be the threaded end on top sticking out Center bolt keeps the spring pack located on the big casting and stops the spring sliding back and forth If you ever break a center bolt on a steer axle you'll know things get very busy very quickly, I describe it as what I imagine driving a yacht is, tacking from side to side as Im spinning the steering wheel quickly from side to side trying keep things straight-ish Paul
  12. Needs two people as far as I know One at the pump pumping and one turning the motor over slowly backwards and forwards It's called spill timing out here, has been 20 years since I have been involved in doing this Paul
  13. The E6 2 valve is commonly regarded as a harder and tougher motor than the 4 valve As they say "she'll pull christ from the cross" or "she'll pull the ass outta the ocean" 2 valves were the very best motors of their era Paul
