Oil leaking from my bottom manifold bolts E7-AMI370
Joey Mack replied to petehall12's topic in Engine and Transmission
Loosen 2 or 3 lines at the head and pump the primer till they bleed, tighten back down 25 lbft,, and fire it up. Foot to the floor and rev it up to clear it out.. -
I saw a report on Fox today where the firefighters were told to stand down for an hour plus in some areas.. then a fire that was put out, was not tended too and it cranked back up and caused a lot of destruction.. The report also sid the reseviors are still empty....
-
Ok..... that adds more info.. do you have other issues?
-
Ok... its 2 wires in 1/4" loom running down the left side radiator and may be coiled up and zip tied out of the way.
-
The A.A.T.S. is where fjh said, there is a thin bracket with a 1/2" hole. It clips in the hole. I forget, but I think its on the bottom left radiator frame area..

Good deal. The ground bolt in front of the starter is notorious for comming loose. When you take the eyelets off, scrape the heat shrink glue offbof them. You may want to look at the procedures for a 9-2 code.. I have posted it before, so maybey search it out on here...

In addition to fjh's procedures, can you carefully unplug the engine positon sensor while its running, and see if it shuts down, also do the same at the RPM TDC sensor in the flywheel housing. If you un plug one and the engine shuts down, check the other sensor and its wires for damage. A common issue is at the RPM TDC sensor wires. Many times i have found damaged wires inside the loom, if the loom is even still there, also, found weak contact inside the plugs.

Bob... I just re-read my reaction to your post about .003".. I think I came off as a smarta$$.... Sorry about that, I was complimenting freightrains ability, and not trying to discount you.. 😅
-
Pryor to cleaning the regulator , was air building in 1 tank and not the other even after the 1st tank was filled past 90 PSI?
-
Can you hook shop air to the bottom tank and listen for leaks.. ?
-
Yes Bob. .003" is thinner than paper. Freightrain knows what hes doin and what he's got. There are set limits for a reason. But this engine was running without blowby under the heads, so as he said, it will run again...
-
I thought the same thing Bob.. 🍻
-
Exactly!!! Fjh
-
Yes sir... My knowledge is only what Mack taught me. I Have only built stock Mack engines by the book. I have not ever colored outside the lines.. With that said, even though my engines STAY running... I wish I knew how to make small changes to improve performance..
-
Good points as usual, fjh.. it was running.
