So I wana start with thanks gotten some incredible help thru this forum I need more . As a few of the fellas on here know I bought  Mack having no idea that they where so diff than the rest of the field.. thought I was getting an e7 per the seller nope 427 asset ac.. hooking it up to computer that’s available it pushing 426 hp it has all new epus new compressor new pulleys new steering box new radiator new fuel lines newer suspension on the truck still Hendrickson air ride tho . I driven owned and repaired trucks most my life so I’m not green there except  for this motor .. it was deleted exhaust to egr plugged coolant still runnin thru egr  cooler I’ve driven a lot 400 hp trucks and this one doesn’t seem to have the power those do..  is it a Mack thing ? rearends and tranny maybe  think it came with rearends and tranny from factory  ??

That’s awesome fellas I’m doin my best to soak up everything  you tell me , I was taught to surround myself with folks who knew more than I did and watch and listen .  I guess my thing with the Mack’s that’s got me sucked in is it seems people who know a lot about them seem to be far and few between I’m building my shop at home and I’ve made a deal with all the fellas that I haul with every day that no matter what kind of money they’ve got if they can get the parts they can bring it to the house and i’ll do the work. We’ll worry about money later. I know how I’ve struggled, especially going from having money readily available to not so much and I know that a lot of these younger guys that are buying trucks and starting out, don’t have a lot to work with. I’m trying to do my part to give back a little , there are a lot of things that i’m pretty sufficient at and there are others not so much but I don’t have much quit in me. You guys know that if I can’t figure it out there’s somebody out there that knows we’ll find them. I kind of feel like that no matter which way the cards are turnedI’m still gonna come out ahead growing up literally dirt floor poor I don’t have a lot now, but it sure is a long way from that and I still believe in people there are good ones out there appreciate you guys. I’ll be back with another round of questions shortly. I’m sure I got run overhead on this thing for long Rod Main bearings probably wouldn’t hurt.

When you rune the valves,  follow the Mack procedure!!! Dont do them like a Cat or Deere

Long as you have looked after the oil and coolant on most e 7 engines they last long  time 27 to 35 thousand hours!

Tried to hunt down that procedure Mack dealers sure won’t turn loose of any info won’t give u part numbers nothin

Please follow my lead here... You have an ASET.the lifters have ceramic rollers.. if you run the valves wrong, you can crack a roller. Cam damage is instant when that happens. You also have power leash engine brakes, so those are done in a different order as well.  I wish i had an extra book to send to you..

Ok when I get ready to do it I’ll just message u on here  I can’t afford to screw it up problem with this aset as you know there are not many at least around here anone of the mechanics even at Mack in Springfield have seen one let alone worked on one so I’m afraid to let them have it.  At least the 3 I talked to there had never seen one  older E7 mp7 mp8 see alot of those one said they have e7 block but that’s really all he knew

Mp's and the other Mack engines are totaly different.. they are Volvo engines painted red..
