Yeah, they look good on my M35, I put the NDCC's on your truck. . . . :razz:

Don't overtighten the new one, or you will squeeze the gasket out of shape and then have a leak.

I know where you can get a good winch truck with XL's on it, way better than bus tires. . . :lol: And a good running 1008. . .

Yes sir, it's stable. The jack also works for the transmission, so I got a 2 fer when I bought the jack. Done the swap more times than I'd like too. . . The use of a strap makes it just about idiot proof.

Yeah, I cheated. . . :p Torque Wrench Adapter Calculator - CNCexpo.com

Yeah but it's big around. . . :grd:

Yes

I saw those, but was not confident they would torque a head nut to 158 lb/ft

I provided the pieces to a professional welder, he told me he used stainless for the weld, not sure about the details, but it does hold in a test to 180 lb/ft ;-)

PLEASE, provide me a source, or a link. . . I searched ALL day yesterday. . . http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/46771-need-help-my-tool.html

For Multi head nuts. . . :-P I used a Craftsman PRO wrench for the boxend donor, do you think they will honor the warranty if I break it? :twisted:

Do you have a part number for the "tool" :-P

Is there a special torque wrench used to torque the shrouded nuts on the heads?, the ones directly below the injectors?

This grenaded motor was a 92 TEAD rebuild, with the tabbed gaskets. The 87 USAF was a last contract M35A2C Also, the motor I just swapped into the truck was/is a 1988 motor. . . with the tabs, go figure. . .

Actually the broken rod bolt in the picture, had a crack all the way around right where the threads start, I know this because the area that was cracked prior to the engine letting go was coated with oil, the center of the bolt that finally broke all the way through was oil free, the threaded...

Anyone know what year they started insatlling the new gaskets in new construction LDT motors, I have a 1987 USAF truck with a 1987 motor that has the tabs. . . :?:

Old friend. . .

Negative, it's shiney because of the unburnt diesel injected into the cylinder after the big boom. I always crank the motor with the stop pulled for a sec or 2 to make sure I don't have a hydrostatic lock situation. Also, I wiped the oil off the top of the piston before I took the pic! :razz:

Cam, head gaskets from blown motor, and of course, the disgruntled shop help. . . :-P
