rsb502 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 What was wrong with the rest of it I need some heads and valve covers, intakes, front cover, pump, pretty much whatever E9 parts you got I'll ponder on. I'll take an old power assy. Piston/rod/sleeve for my desk even.

staxx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Is there a truck attached to the engine ? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30083-mack-e9-block/#findComment-166699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller85 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 No sir there aint no truck attached to the motor. Engine was takin out of a 83 Super Dawg man told me he was replacing the ol E9 with an old Catawiller. I'm taking the heads and having all four completely rebuilt also I'm getting the fuel pump gone completely through. I'm thinking on selling them aint made my mind up yet. I believe in these ol E9's all I've ever been around. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30083-mack-e9-block/#findComment-166725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
staxx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 If he was swapping for a catawiller then there must have been something wrong with the E9 . No one in there rite mind would pull out a E9 for a catawiller..

Miller85 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I was told that the motor was bending push rods and thats why it was takin out but I'm still gonna tear it down and have the pump and the heads rebuilt and also check block for cracks. I've heard different reasons from a couple people have you had any dealins with an E9 bending rods?

Miller85 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've been around E9's long enough to know the blocks are worth more than any $100.00.

rsb502 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Its probably bent valves or push rods, probably ran it hard and the seats popped out and bent the valves or push rods. That is the major E9 flaw, if you rebuild the heads let Dale Francis push the seats in harder than stock. I know there are a few on here that can vouch for Dale Francis's work on E9's.

Miller85 Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm going to have the heads rebuilt next week and have them on here for sale along with the fuel pump in the next couple weeks.

rsb502 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Again if you rebuild the heads let dale francis press the seats, I wouldnt give much for em since I would just have to get em and take em back apart and do it again if that wasn't done. No point in not doing it right you the first time. Why don't you offer em for sale as they are first, then whoever gets em can rebuild them to their specs? 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30083-mack-e9-block/#findComment-167413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I would be careful selling a block that hasnt been checked/reconditioned. I would get it crack tested, check the liner seats/heights and sealing areas, and tunnel bore it. You want to make sure the caps are a tight fit and the same with the liners in the counterbore. All this can cost a few dollars to do it properly, but at least you know that you're selling a good unit. If you dont want to go down that path then its only worth a few hundred dollars, and the sale is like a lottery. It sounds like youre on the right track getting the heads checked out. If you sell serviced parts, then no one can argue on price or condition. And if you sell rubbish, even if you didnt know the parts were bad, then people remember for a long time. Its not worth giving yourself a bad name.Good luck, let us know how you go.

Miller85 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Skip I appreciate the input I agree a mans only got one name, you need to keep a good name if your gonna be in the part sellin and truckin business. Yea 84 Superdog I agree with you, you might as well do somethin right the first time especially dealing with E9s. Do you have any ball park figures on what them boys at Franciss engineering would charge to rebuild them heads? I know it would vary because of parts for each head but I was just lookin for ball park figures?ThanksMiller Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30083-mack-e9-block/#findComment-167496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not a clue on price but the number is in my phone......Dale Francis engineering 440-254-4046.

Miller85 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I called them and they said it would be about $900 per head to rebuild at Francis. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30083-mack-e9-block/#findComment-167796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Sounds about right, was that factory spec or extra strength pressed valve seats, I remember talking to them and hearing about 3 levels of head rebuild for an E9.

Miller85 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm not sure to be honest the man just told me 900. That seemed a little steep for rebuilding and turning right around and selling them I might just let them go and not worry with rebuilding them.
