  1. There is a 1/4" pipe plug behind the overboard breather. You can tie in there, if the plug wants to come out, or you can 'T' into line going in to the block below the #4 cylinder...
  2. I have posted the ''pin-out'' charts in case you need to I.D. the circuits. I also posted the 9-2 code info to use to guide you through checking the grounds.
  3. luv it !! fjh
  4. The Cal Codes are important, but the engine will run good until it learns how its running. Not entering the Cal Codes is not the issue here..
  5. Just go back a few pages. He posted pictures
  6. His front crankshaft thrust bearing was damaged. So we started chatting about the forward forces on the crank that would have damaged the thrust bearing.. I even doubted myself when I knew I was right about my Boo Boo doing that job.. I guess I need another shot of Potato Juice. 🍻
  7. Yep.. I just realized i was too quick to doubt myself.. I did a do over on my math..
  8. Oops. Your right, I just did the math.... 🙃
  9. I do have another question... was there a snap ring on the pilot bearing? Im asking because if it was there but shouldnt be and the trans mounted would push the crankshaft forward putting excess pressure on the front thrust bearing causing that wear? I almost made that mistake in an Int. 8100 . I put a clutch in it, but couldnt get the trans to mate up, by 1/8". Somehow i figured out the snapring i left on the bearing was the issue. Removed it, seated the bearing.... good to go....
  10. Nice.... I like this posting. I am learning things from you. I am pretty weak with the engine you have, i say that because I have only built 1, 673. I studied my book hard. But, of course E-7 + E-Techs are what I know fairly well. I have seen many similarities in how the engines were designed, of course the E-Tech block is its own kind.. Thanks Freightrain... Jojo
  11. It looks like the crankshaft did not get scratched by the thrust bearing, judging by the condition of the thrust bearing friction surface. Are there oiling grooves in the new thrust bearings ?
  12. Yep.. it's worn and does not move when new. Im guessing its worn on the side that takes the force of releasing the clutch. Does the fork push the throwout bearing? Once again, just curious..
  13. Paul.. The single leaf spring at the rear of the main box was used here as well. Ive seen it in Ford's and Freightliner's, I think Int.'s also.
  14. I see the inspection cover is on top, on the trans. Where is it on the new bell housing? Just curious...
  15. Can you peel back the loom on those wires and write down the code on them? They should start with EJ or VJ, then a number, then a space and then a pair of numbers, then a space, then a decimal number. This code will tell you which ECU, the plug , and the pin number, then you can look at the V-Mac3 book to find that circuits purpose. I have posted the charts before.
  16. 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..
  17. 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....
  18. Ok..... that adds more info.. do you have other issues?
  19. 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.
  20. 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..
  21. 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...
