Joey Mack Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 ok... at the bottom of the flywheel housing, there is a cover, rectangular or roundish. 5/16" bolt heads.. 6 of them or 2 of them. remove it... then look inside. the flywheel may be rusty, sorry.. have a piece of emery cloth ready and when you roll the engine around, look carefully. when you see the markings through the rust,, buff it clean,, do this to all of them. the flywheel is divided in 3 .. if you need more help.. PM me and I will give you my phone #. then you can call me.. jojo 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68885-e7-350-turbo-lag/page/4/#findComment-485259 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only think I saw was a part of bell housing that protrudes into the inspection hole. It would be a hole that possibly you look through but it had a metal plug in it and didn’t seem like it was going to come out very easily. But, maybe that’s not even the right thing? Poat a photo of the bottom of the housing please.

That part of housing that sticks out with a hole in it looks same as mine but mine had a steel plug in it. It didn’t seem if it were going to come out easily.

fjh Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) The steel plug is likly the pointer! some had a pointer pushed in the hole! Just use the center of the plug as your guide you will be fine it really is not rocket science! if you are off a little one side or the other on the Valve set marks It will likely not effect the Valve set that much! just follow the directions as jojo posted you'll be fine.

rhinoo Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Ok, finally found the marks. I guess someone put a clutch in at some point and installed the pressure plate bolts in those holes. I was looking at the empty holes. I also just noticed my valve cover stated specs of .016 and .028 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68885-e7-350-turbo-lag/page/4/#findComment-485326 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 ok.. you have an E-7... the exk on them was .028" the engine brake is set based on the turbo you have.. widen the picture so we can see the whole plate and get the number off the turbo tag.. probably an S400 SO41 schwitzer.... jojo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68885-e7-350-turbo-lag/page/4/#findComment-485329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause that's how I always done it may not have looked at the valve cover However if it says 28 then that's a not too tight 24 to me ! Did a set on a 3406 e once, cat provides a min max set 3 or 4 thou one way or the other in my mind is reasonable! I believe there is likely a plus minus factor built in to the spec Mack provides ! Just my opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68885-e7-350-turbo-lag/page/4/#findComment-485384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
