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.
-
Just curious. I dont have my book in front of me, how would that affect the height of the piston at TDC? Seems to me you would have a bit more compression, but not be too close to the valves.

Im guessing that when the bores were cut, the deck was as well...
-
Do any of the shops near you have a counter bore cutting service? I did a few house calls to cut them at Mack years ago. I own one now, but its over 3 grand to buy the tool.

E7 350hp to 500hp that will live
Joey Mack replied to mackdaddytruckfixer's topic in Engine and Transmission
Thats amazing. When I pulled MDrives out, i could pick them up and put them on a pallet for core returns.. how could a trans that light be strong enough to handle huge torque and truck trains as described? Must be a great engineering accomplishment... I havent a clue, just sayin.. -

Joey Mack replied to mackdaddytruckfixer's topic in Engine and Transmission
How big would the transmission be, and the axles? I bet you would lose 3000 lb's of freight weight to be legal here in the U.S. just tossin my silly thoughts out there... -
Mystery Transmission Valve
Joey Mack replied to Lueke's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
There is no trans pressure switch.. gear box pressure is vented, not monitored... -
That was such an innocent show to watch.. The rebels that they were is childs play compared to what teens are doing today...
