  1. I'm a short person, it helps me check the oil. And Hell Yeah it'll hold my beer and the cooler next to me.
  2. I'm out of likes,. So. FJH, here it is... 👍
  3. I just went back to page 1 and read it 4 times.. with all that has been posted, I came up with 1 question.. did you check the rocker arms to see if they 'rock' smoothly? I know that E-7 push rods can be installed wrong, off to the side of the lifter. I was wondering if a rocker arm hung up in the valve open position, and the push rod jumped off the top of the lifter.. Im really 'Reaching' on this one.. Jojo
  4. You could whip up one of these bumpers.. 😉
  5. I actually use a small kitchen strainer when I am trouble shooting an issue. Gear oil is a bit thick but the pieces fall into the strainer.
  6. Those straight sixes were tough.. I had a few of them. I'm a Chevy guy every day, but the Ford 300 is the best one.. I currently have 2 straight sixes. My '48 Int. KB-7 has a 290 cid. When I stomp on it in low or first, the torque is awesome.. It's a puller.. The 454 in the C-10 is gonna cost me.. I am also going to freshen up the TH-400 as well..
  7. That's a VOLVO issue.. Have you ever used the 3-M buffing kit's from N.A.P.A. ?
  8. its a southern truck... it a C-10.. hyd. lifters. He tried to win a street race against a motorcycle.. he said he WON... but I own his broken truck... I WON.. jojo
  9. I looked back..... He said ALL got sent out... so he may not have been involved in the actual install's.. No offense, just trying to get a better perspective... jojo
  10. in his post he said new cam.. unless I read it wrong, but I didnt see new lifters.. heck, anything could have happened.. How do we know his driver didn't over rev. it, on a downhill run, ? I did fleet management for a long time and I heard so many story's,,,,,,, looking back, my brain would hurt trying to figure out the B.S. ... Yep, another one of my opinion's.. jojo
  11. yeah me too... I havent touched my '48 in over a month, and this weekend I have a Mack quad dump, coming to my shop for a 'C' P.M. and I bet I will have repairs.. My truck will wait again..
  12. Nite-Nite...... See you tomorrow...
  13. You all set,, I recommend the cam timing tool if you dont have one...
  14. do you have the essential tools to do the build? ie: cam timing tool, rear cover hold downs, main seal installers, barring tool, heck I'm loosing track... anyway, get prepared, and dont be scared... jojo
  15. He can cut open an oil filter to see if there is "Silver in them thar Hill's.!!! "..
  16. the lifters can loose their faces, and , well.....
  17. drop the pan and look up,, try to get your fingers on the lobes to feel them if you can,, Hell, you probably knew that,, I'm sorry..
  18. You are too Kind, Onyx.. Truth is... I ran away from MP engines years ago.. I did'nt look back to see if they were gaining, I just RAN !!.. I truly have forgotten a lot about diagnostics on the E.A.T.S. and E.G.R. issues.. I do remember the glove test, 👍.. You are smarter than you realize on these MP's.. Jojo
  19. The acc. relay, if connections are loose can cause a shutdown if it V-Mac II. V-Mac I has a pull stop.. It is a good suggestion to check the acc. relay. It is under the ash tray inside the dash. You can here a loud click when you cycle the key, and if you dont know where it is, the sound will bring you to it
  20. Loose grounds, and if it is V-mac II, I would check the plug connection and condition at the injection pump. the deutch connector needs to be secured into the yoke that should be there. jojo
  21. I just went to the link, and woudlnt you know, the same security warning that we had here last week, popped up... Crazy... I will try again later.. Thank's, Brocky... jojo
  22. I tried to look up JOT, but all I got were ads for coffee and note taking. What is the Name of the site, I thought I would take a look.
