Bigdogtrucker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 ZERO parts are made for those engines. There are guys who have N.O.S stuff around, be prepared to pay big money though if they'll sell...

kscarbel2 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Those parts are going to be hard to find. What did your Mack Australia dealer in Tasmania say when you called them? If they weren't helpful, try calling Mack Australia directly at 1300 69 6225.

theakerstwo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 PAI have no parts for that engine. Rob Swallows has been trying to find some and was in process of having some liners and piston made.

AZB755V8 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Only thing I found was rod bearings are still available. I believe they are the same as the E9. All else.... well good luck. I rebuilt my 866 is 1996 and parts were becoming scarce then. There was only one part number left for standard main bearing out of 3. Plus they were $255 for just the main set at Mack. Just one ring set was close to $100 back then or $800 for a complete set!! Have not heard of head gaskets even for a long time... don't pull the heads or if, be really carful to reuses the gaskets with sealer. If you find parts let us know I would be interested. The days of running the old V8's is done, no parts. I have one as a hobby engine in my B, it is the one I rebuilt years ago, but most guys don't even know what it is. Wish it was not so but the E9 is not far behind, very few know much about them anymore, less know how to work on them and parts are getting harder to get too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46496-endtb866-parts-required/#findComment-342867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coenut Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 How about eggs machine. I think they do custom Pistons, and fedtech for head gaskets. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46496-endtb866-parts-required/#findComment-342873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 There are companies that make custom head gaskets. http://www.coppergaskets.com.au http://www.swansonsgaskets.com.au/setup.htm 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46496-endtb866-parts-required/#findComment-342884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 And here is a guy from Qld who has/had some spares parts. Might be worth a call. It was advertised on this site in 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46496-endtb866-parts-required/#findComment-342885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
