conway carriage Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 We have a 1999 ch613 with e7 427. It had a new camshaft last fall after a local mechanic set the valve lash at TDC instead of on the flywheel mark. What a mess. Couple of week ago #6 EUP pops up with broken bolts. Had it fixed, Four hours later down the road, #5 goes. Had that fixed, new seals and bolts( changed all EUP bolts just in case) Now it makes oil. About half inch in 2 hours on the dipstick. The dealer changed both EUPs for new ones, scoped the holes, but it still making oil??/ Any ideas????Adam Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12557-e7-427/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you replace the o-ring's on the EUP's that popped out? The "Mack" cam kit for the ETECH engine has the new upgraded EUP bolts included in it. Hope he put them in and not tossed them.

Hope he put them in and not tossed them.All o rings where changed and all new bolts. the two leaking EUPs were replaced and had new o rings and bolts too... Shold also mention we pulled the fuel pump and check for leaks at the seal it looks good. this truck didn't make oil before the EUP came out. they swear they changed the bolts that came with the cam kit. This truck is driving me nuts... 3 weeks sitting.....Adam Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12557-e7-427/#findComment-49186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injector doesn,t sit in an oil galley does it??? I check around the hold down plug of each injector while it was idling and found no diesel there. Also I know they didn't pull the injectors while they did the cam.Adam Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12557-e7-427/#findComment-49208 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to take some JB Weld and (with customers approval) and repair the gouge and install the new style "Delta 3 piece lower O-ring" as per Mack service bulletin.

I beleive 68 likly has a good thought here if the bore is scored that may be your answer.

I beleive 68 likly has a good thought here if the bore is scored that may be your answer.I will have to take off the caps then... We used a borescope and it all looked good. Only thing I could add would be, that when we put the first EUP back on we noticed a nick in the small fuel line from the head to return. I only had some clear fuel line so I temporarily used it. I did notice that there really wasn't any fuel flow in it. Slowly worked it was to the head from the return line. I thought it peculiar, but alway have had the heavy nylon stuff from mack, so I don't know what it should do.Adam Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12557-e7-427/#findComment-49212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to ask for the special Delta o-ring kit, part# 1899-O71356 or reffer them to Mack service bulletin SB221038 In the kit the top oring is the same but the bottom o-ring has a triangle shaped o-ring with 2 plastic rings on either side.

I had to order them myself and we put them in as the "warranty" on the job isn't worth squat....

hatcity Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry for bringing this back, My 2001 E7-427 is now "making" oil. Power steering level is now going lower. Any connection such as seal/ gasket. Or looking to replace O-rings. Can this be done by shade tree mechanics (me), or have a real mechanic?

I'm assuming your pump is gear driven from an auxilary drive on the engine? This drive would be lubricated with engine oil and if the front seal in the pump is in fact bad, the mating/driving portion is where the two are commonly joined.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
