'HB'... That is a great post !!!! It say's more than a lot of people know.... 🍻

To Hell with that Guy...

So... did we just give a Russian terrorist in trade for an American Hater???? And what about the American Soldier?? is he a P.O.S.? or a Patriot? He should be here, and if he is a traitor, then doesn't the U.M.C.J. come in to play here?? and Try Him In OUR Court of LAW?? What the HELL is Going On Here ????? Jojo

How about a forum called..... ''I went off topic again''.... What do you think Mechohaulic??

My fuel and oil cap would leak outside, and the bar oiler port clogged easy..

Lightly grease the peanuts, inside and out... Push all the peanuts from the inside to the out position,. The as you SLOWLY insert the inner cam , rotate the yoke slowly and it will go right on.. I believe the inner cam is in backwards. The oil grooves go to the cam drum nut.. Jojo

OH MY GOD !!!!!

My MS 211 was crap from day one.. 2 trees in,. I had to have the clutch and both fill caps replaced under warranty.. I'm a dummy too..

I bet his compressor clutch is the type you can't see.. they started that crap 10+ years ago.. it turned a quick inspection into a half day event...

The rocker shafts do NOT come with the heads.. I don't mean disrespect with my next question..... How well do you know these engines? If you have engine building experience, then doing this job won't be hard, just some new aspects. Many of us here can guide you. And many of us have the service manuals to look up info.. To repeat myself.. The special tools are essential. Jojo

There really aren't any corners to cut here... I highly recommend the H-rings tools,, if they are NOT set at the correct depth and 'clocked' correctly... The CAM WILL GET DESTROYED IN THE FIRST HOUR... jojo

They can be threads, but I believe he said they are the size of a ball point pen spring. Inside the valve rotators is a coil spring. We had many issues with them breaking down and had to replace them,. I believe we went from top rotators to bottom style.

H-rings can be checked from the bottom with the special tool. However, installation, is done from the top with the heads off.. it is easy to do. The book explains it in simple terms.. you may need to get oversized H-rings if there was excessive movement of the original H-rings.. the tools can be bought from Freedom Racing.com for about $350.00+.

Back to the first posting... Since you have this much damage and still haven't checked the rest of the cylinders, I suggest you look closely at both heads, on the top for more of those spring coils.. that indicates bad valve rotators and replacing rotators is a little bit of a job. The valve seals will be replaced at the same time, then you have to wiegh the fact tha the valves should be lapped or ground, then there is tooling, knowledge, and down time... All of these combined, may steer you towards 2 re-man heads, just to get that part done. The cam is likely JUNK.. the H-rings,,,. At the very least should be replaced on the bad cylinder. Are you familiar with H-rings inspection, and installation? And choosing the correct size H-Ring? The rocker shaft needs to checked really good for re- use,. I will stop here for now. Keep posting.. Jojo

Ok.. I'm grabbing at straws..

Those rings look like rotator rings.. check the valve rotators, and use a magnet stick to reach into all the corners of the top of the head, and inside the heads of the core plugs. I assume that chunks are lifter chunks. Do you have the ability to check the H-rings.. ?

Do you have 2 steering u joints at the steering box, like an RD?

Touche'

I get it... I'm loosing My E-7 knowledge lately... I need to read the book again.. Just sayin'..

Yes sir,, wasnt the setting for the jakes based on the turbo part number?? I have done a few but am not a pro. I remember taking 2-3 feeler gauges together, and checking each side of the funny looking piston.. I do not own the E-7 feeler gauge tools.. I think the lashes were .040'', .060'', & .080''... I sure am glad I have service manuals..

Sorry 'F'... I'm really not trying to correct you, And your info is correct for the Jacobs 690 Brake heads after Updates like top oil feed and Armoly reset screws.. It did go from .015'' - .017'' - then to .021".. jojo

sure is...

;F;.. I think you are thinking about the E-Tech?? I believe he has an E-7...........

Very true, FJH.. yoke setting is crucial, and I have seen it overlooked many times.. I have also replace guide pins for that reason.. With the Jake heads on, patience is very important during valve adjustment.. with rockers off,,,. It's a breeze.. Jojo

I like a 460 in a CL.. I drove one with an XT in it, an the torque was really strong.. just my opinion.. no biggie..
