Thank you Glenn. I was hoping I could do that... I use a hone on E-7/E-Tech's, to get them cleaned up.. I made a press with steel plates and Threaded rod's, and a short 12 ton bottle jack, and I have a piece of plastic silo liner that is 1/2" thick to put on top of the liner.. I've lost count of how many liners I pressed in with this rig. I was hoping I could use it instead of dry ice. I was concerned about the liner sticking half way in and then i have to pull it out and try again.. Jojo

Truth is.... I have never been in this spot before.. I buffed it really good, and the pitting is below where the rings will ride, but I have no idea how long it will run with this small amount of pitting. It may run great for a long time.. and because it is an E-6.... I do not have real skills for installing the liner.. I heard about dry ice, but never done it. I was raised on E-7's... I have a liner press for those engines.... when you deep freeze the liner in dry ice, will it just drop in? I bet I would have to move quickly? of course i will have the block clean and ready to go.. jojo

I dont know Mark... When I had the block done I asked them to press the liners in. They bought the liners... I would assume PAI, But I don't know, and I can't find out.. However, when I pull this liner, I may be able to see a stamping on it..

Awesome !!!!

Interesting thought on the pitting.. I am glad that I found it today, my plan was to get the heads on.. Now I have to buy a new liner, and piston rings.. I love losing money... But in the end,,, I need to make sure my engine is correct...

Sorry, I was chatting with Bob.. Anyway, what do you think caused the pitting, i'm stumped...

it cuts very well, and with ease...

Hell, my counterbore cutter cost $3000.00

it kicks butt !!! It's the only style I have ever used at the Mack dealership, so when I started building engines in my Road service, I bought one.. They are $1000.00, and worth every penny to me.. jojo

I have a great liner puller, and I can always run a few beads of weld in it to shrink it.. The other 5 are fine, Phewwww....

Hey 'C' If they put you in another truck with camel back's,, Just for kick's,, reach in to the top of the boxes and try to wiggle the upper pad's. and look to see if the rubber from the lower pad's is sticking out or barely visible.. If the uppers move, the lowers pad's are 'shot!'.. Just curious, are they going to replace your ruined underware?? jojo

I used 320 emery cloth to clean it up, and it is actually a recess, pitted, somehow.. I'm afraid it will brake a ring.. I guess, my question is more about has this been seen before, and is it possible the counter bore has an issue? I did NOT install the liners, so I have no idea about counter bore condition.. I guess I will pull the piston out and check the rings.. Good to hear from you Bob... jojo

Hey guy's.. I had this E-6 machined and new liners installed 2 years ago. I installed the cam and pistons a year and a half ago, then had to stop to do other engines for this customer. I had the engine on its stand, I kept it covered and lubed and every once in a while I would wipe it down and spray lube all over it and inside of it.. sometimes I would roll it over a bit.. So today I am back on it, and was cleaning the deck, and cylinders, when I found this.... I know I need to replace the liner, what gets me is how this happened, since I have kept up with it, and kept it clean an free of moisture..

I just got new glasses 6 months ago.. . Too funny.. I decided to delete my opinionated posts, so as not to offend or look like an A$$.. those boxes are worn thin, and that suspension has been bad for years.. I have never seen a box brake like that on a truck that wasn't wrecked.. The best part is that no one was hurt by an out of control truck.. hats off the the driver for keeping it upright... Jojo

I'm out of 'likes'. That is awesome..!!

I have to do some cleaning on it today,, I have kept it lubed and covered, but as you can see, a little light rust made it's way in.. jojo

Hey Craig, The funny thing is i'm going to get back on the E-6 that has been in the back of my shop (un-touched) for over a year.. Here is a picture of liner hold down bolts. be sure to keep the washer off of the raised part of the liner, any dent will cause a compression leak.. If the washer is too big, just put it on the bench grinder and take it down a bit.. jojo

Dry..

Yep... coolant line to the air compressor... easy fix... jojo

dammit Onyx... I cant see what that symbol is..

'C'.. you are surrounded by some of the smartest people when it comes to Mack trucks, and if you do a small amount of research you will find that there is a tremendous amount of knowledge about many other truck model's.. Now.. My Opinion stands.. I have been doing this for 24 years, and the pic's I saw spoke to me... poor inspections and maintenance.. If that Offend's you, I will not offer an apology.. I made a living putting SAFE truck's on the road, and No MAN will ever tell me the opposite.. With that said... Please use this Website for your need's.. All of us will certainly help you the best way we can.. It is truly a 'Brotherhood' here and all are welcomed.. For real.... Jojo

by the way.. Not only is the carrier loose and leaking, but you need a brake job too... Just sayin'. jojo

Hell,, We use 'saw dust'.... in the noisy rear ends... Well, not me, just the story tellers...

I guess that's kin' to using 'Motor Honey' in an engine that burns oil??? jojo
