Denny Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Does anyone out there know where a guy can find good heads for the E9?. Found a truck ,but might need a head, or maybe more than one. Leaking a little coolant inside. I know it could be a cooler also. Just want to know what's available. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/11578-e9-500/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbamobilin Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Problem could also be the liner O-rings letting water get into the crankcase. E9 stuff getting harder to find because people like me who are still runnng E9's don't want to get rid of our spare parts. I grateful to have 2 complete E'9s and another half of one to keep my 1990 Superliner going.

BAD DOG Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 You could have a cracked or pitted liner due to electrolasis. Can't you get a remaned head from mack? I prced them a couple of years ago and they were available, a bit expensive though.

fjh Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The most comon failure of the e9 head was droped valve seats I only ever seen one cracked one.The weak point is the head bolts lower corners of the heads external leaks.The gasked usually gives out due to broken bolt.

Denny Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 The first thing I thought of being wrong is a head. Of coarse that is the worst case imaginable, but I've been there before with an E7, but are readily available. My Mack dealer in Decatur Il. could not find any, reman. or new, anywhere in the U.S.. I called Adelman's in Ohio. Same story, NONE ANYWERE!!!! UGH!!! I tested an E9 out Sat. in Indy. Perfect truck, fell in LOVE with the E9, but had this one little problem, coolant in blowby....I won't by a pink elephant. Or something I can't afford to chase down parts all over the country. I have'nt the time being an owner/operator. But I so appreciate the come back from all who responded to my call for help. SOMEDAY?

Mack Doctor Jr. Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Did some research on the E9 heads. the place i found is called Agkits.com Syracuse Crank and Machine106 Luther Ave.Liverpool,NY 130881800-437-3609 or315-475-9893 (8am to 5pmEst)No price was given, but its a start...Denny u must have looked at that Superliner in Fremont,Ind. Its one sharp truck, I tried 2 weeks ago to get a friend to look at it for him ane his da to buy. They bought a POS Kenmore (Kenworth) to run. Funny thing is it never hauled the first load and had to go to CAT for a new computer.
