  • I been a bit quiet lately on here ..........

    Due to head gasket going on my truck water into oil

    6 cylinder Cummins 5800cc Diesel

    Many thanks to Chalky H for the repair manuals a great help with torque settings etc

    Had to have valve seats re-cut - well it has done 425,000 Kms

    Valves reground and re-profiled - 4 new inlet valves needed - spent a day grinding 12 valves into head new stem seals fitted

    After bleeding fuel system tonight it started on the second turn of the key

    Finish it off tomorrow

    3 days to road test

    Then load up for Croft

        Ahhh - did the easy start method get it going - always found that to be handy on the old Tractors I sometimes repair for my landlord

          No Victory V needed

          A bit harsh sometimes on engines is laughing gas

          Knock like fork - only uses a snort as a last resort

            They do bang a bit on ether don't they

            Bought a Transit that had been standing for months earlier this year with Mogsmex, the only way to get it going was to juice it up with easy start, banged like **** until it bled the diesel up
