That is because when you introduce more fluid/air that changes the compression ratio!! The combustion bowl is designed to handle a greater fuel/air volume. The consumption of fuel goes from 10 mph to like 5 mph. You would hydro lock the engine without the extra capacity.
The sleeves I have received had a very light hone but that is not unusual. The liners were done by a machine, not by hand that makes a big difference. If the rings are moly it would be very smooth.
Most OEMs and ring manufacturers specify a surface finish of 15 to 25 RA for moly faced rings...
Oil pressure is higher that coolant pressure. You would see oil in the coolant. You need to do an exhaust gas test on your cooling system. I have seen funny things from a cracked head. Sometimes it pressurizes the cooling system and coolant goes everywhere or when the engine is cold it leaks...
Bolt in Niehoff Model
This is the direct bolt in Niehoff alternator. It uses the same pulley. I read up on there alternator and they are 70% efficient. It less hp's to drive them then a conventional alternator that is 50% efficient. They are a sealed unit.
I am mechanic and a machinist as well. I was a line welder and then foreman of a welding fabrication shop for a drill rig manufacturer 6 year. The company paid for all our certification. We only needed a few certification for what we were doing. Just stick and Mig solid wire and FCAW structural...
I had one years ago. I had a great time with it. I had a m51 with a Mack engine. I got it from an old farmer that had it parked in the barn for years. Have fun with your new truck!!!
I ordered one! As my buddy Carson would say I pulled the trigger on it. I don't have the a balancer and I have a 20 year old alternator. I did the math and it was not far off from an new model alternator and a good high amp balancer!! I am a mechanical engineer and I don't like half assing...
I have a LEECE-NEVILLE MODEL 3002AE. I talked to them today, It is discontinued but they still make parts, but they have don't have any info on site other than AMA-5102UT replaces it. So will have the ask if you can get a 100 amp stator from a rebuild place. I did find niehoff alternator N1505-1...
M35a2 Alternators
I looked at every Alternator that has been on an M35A2 since 1974 and all of the technical specs from the original manufacture's and found that there civilian rating was 80-90 amp. The 1974 parts manual has it listed a 30-80 amp alternator. So that being said they make more...
This was the alternator that was used in the test on the 5 ton link. Under the Mil part number 10929868 it is 60 amp but if you cross-reference the number you get the civilian number AMA-5104UT that is rated for 90 amp.
NO-Spill is a carb cert fuel can but it is the best fuel can I ever owned!! You can also put a hose on the end of the nozzle. The NO-Spill cans are not cheap. I have five of them and I have had them for years now and not one issue. I would post a picture but the site will not let me.
When I installed mine, I lubed then and had to hammer them down the bore with a piece of wood and a hammer to hook them up to the rods. I sprayed them with WD the night before and greased them in the morning.
I live down the road from TNJ Murray. I drive down and buy stuff all the time there. The guy you are talking to is probably Albray, he is the parts manager there. I have not had a problem with the kits.
