    Yeah before my285 and 12 speed, my truck had a237 and a quad, liked that too, but that quad was a no no on lugging way down. hard on that single countershaft trans. terry

    As geoff said, i had a 285 which is a engine you can lug down to about 1100 or 1200 RPM's i had it with a mack 12 speed and loved that combination. terry

    Them two extra holes are for a aluminum heel plate, so your heel does not wear a hole in the floor mat, was put on in later trucks, not sure of the exact year. terry

    The only drawback is the engine infront of the nine speed is not made to be lugged down like it will be with the mack eight speed transmission, terry

    The check valves, one is under the primer and the other is under that cap or plug next to it,definitely have to clean the lift pump before taking the off. terry

    If your talking the X107 six speed they are direct in top gear, there was a 10 and 12 speed in that series that had a overdrive. terry

    Check valves are real easy to check, if you have a primer, one is under that and the other is next to it under a cap. don't have to remove lift pump to check. terry

    Probably mentioned this before, check valves in lift pump can loose prime.

    Believe there has to be a little freeplay there, when you tighten to 250ft. lbs you are just binding everything up. you need specifications from a service manual. terry

    I would guess that nipple off the water pump housing would be to heater,with the return to the water manifold. terry

    I know it’s your call, but with the trouble you had getting injectors out, i sure would try to scare up a reamer🤷‍♀️. terryespecially since your doing a proper overhaul?
  18. terry
    Definitly some kind of tank, terry
  19. terry
    Don't forget, there is a reamer once all washers are out, for the injector bores. terry

    Engine thermostat should be about ten or fifteen degrees cooler than the shutterstat so it opens first, then the shutters open when really working it. terry
