Mack 2v can it be changed to 4v?


Recommended Posts

Yep I just pulled my 2v heads off about a month ago. Replaced the head gaskets and cleaned up the mating surfaces. Total cost was less than $100 in parts.

 

Great help from people here.

hope we get to see total picture of your lifting system! over head crane seems to be an understatement.  if you are going to reinstall those heads  based on picture, my recommendation is to pull ALL the studs first. or make dam sure those head stud holes are spotless. during the jiggle=jaggle of the heads being lowered ANY grit/crap in those holes  reaches those new head gaskets from those studs scraping bore before the heads seat in place. also the studs are supposed to be brought snug then backed off a tad. I used  from toolbox set of  wire wheeled /clean studs for such operations. which were removed once all engine studs were in place .

those are out of an END 673

as a search for knowledge ;; original post states 81 mack; based on picture of heads which seem to be gold in color;  assumption is this is a 1981 Mack , not a B-81 dump ??  racking brain cells trying to remember :: END 673 push rods lighter internally (thinner walls) then what could be a 1981 TURBO  engine  ENDT ??

yes.. my pushrods are 20 years older than his, however, will they work??  I dont know, I dont have an E-6 (2V), here to compare.

so we are in agreement this engine is a 1981. picture you posted Jojo push rods seem HD compared to older spot welded ends. his aren't any good ' what if he sends his to you for comparing.  ??? yours will work for him

I doesn't leak much air will hold 30-60 lbs over night but it pukes alot of oil.

I plan on going thru everything while I have it down. Just got injectors pulled out of the head...will prob have the heads cleaned up and new seals. I found a shop that can cut the rings if needed but are a month out. A week just to clean them up but I figure will take close tp that for everything else.  Plan on pulling the pump and having it gone thru....

Debating doing lower end as had some blow by drips....but haven't decided.

 

Joey I may hit you up for a pair. I had to add it to this post as I have reached my max post for the day apparently...lol

We put a "reman" compressor in our 1979 endt676, pukes just as much oil as the old compressor did.  Run it or rebuild it yourself. Don't put a "reman" compressor in. Not worth the money.

Also, modern engines pull their compressor intake air from the boosted intake manifold.  Builds air faster.  On engine pistons there's a science behind combustion pressures wedging the piston rings against cylinder walls harder, creating better seal.  Similar could apply to compressor rings as well, might get better seal/less oil puke if your compressor is getting boosted air.

I used a service truck crane. To remove and replace the heads as 1 assembly. Made life very easy

Yes, I wire brushed all stud holes in the head. Pressure washed them and blow dry. All the stud holes in block were wire brushed and blown out after I cleaned the deck surface. 

All studs were wire brushed.

Lowered heads on with 4 studs used as guides until the dowl pins located them. Then I put all studs in hand tight and backed off 1/2 turn. All studs were same hight. Bolted down so far so 👍

Lmackattack, did you look at the picture of my pushrods?  Curious if they are the same as your tip turbine engine.  I want to send them to him if they will work.

takes a minute longer but doing job the right way makes a difference later. have done the two heads as one assembly also. each project has it's own particulars ; equipment/ set up make a major difference

Yes the engine I am working on is in an 81 r686.  Engine shows 1980 build date. I am going to get with Joey in the am when I get back to the shop.

The R700 has a big cam 290....its a project at this point. I pulled the eaton 13sp out of it and put in the R686. The R700 has like 6.14 gears on a 46k walking beam. Those axles are coming out to go under a work over rig with an auto. Gonna find a set of 44k camel back and and heavier 13sp. The Big cam needs some work so it will come back as a 400.

This is Bendix's trouble shooting for compressors. I find that compressors get blamed when other things are causing excessive duty cycle. 15%-to 25% MAX duty cycle. One of the 1st things they mention is excessive air use/excessive duty cycle for any slobber issue.

 If you replace the compressor but the air use and/or duty cycle remains high, it will not matter new, rebuilt or the one you started with, they will all slobber oil.

I didn't have trouble, and didn't need to change compressors for slobber, I had to change one for a loose main bearing on a 3406 Cat (front bushing for compressor crankshaft was loose.)

attached is another Bendix .pdf on oil slobber
