Can someone tell me what the four bolt holes are used for? Is it an info plate, just a square piece of metal to reinforce ? More importantly what am I missing to make this look a little better besides the obvious cap.

I had my daughter come out and do some wrenching on the truck with me. We pulled the injector head out, and found an extra retainer clip for the button down in the pump. I don’t know why was still running but it was. I’m hoping that could be the reason for all my issues. I have a match set of...

Turn it over to my daughter. I think she found an issue. Should have gave it to her earlier I have all 18 of my injectors at an injection place, getting looked at. I’m gonna pick the best ones to make a match set and lets hope that will be the end of this.

I’m Tired of throwing mud at this picket fence hoping it’ll stick I need some Dad gum help

I have been learning as fast as I can. And have come to understand my injector pump is an early generation injector head , and needed to be replaced with the later one. I’m doing that now, but it’s got me thinking. I know the Previous owner replace the injectors. So my questions are, Are they...

After I deleted the flame heater, I had enough transparent line to add in and look uniform. The transparent line is harder to get these days. I’m happy with it look of it.

Can I just find where they go and splice them back together?

What manner of lazy, no good, shortcut is this? I don’t know if I can just solder these back together. Or if these are special wires that need end from end continuity .

No worries. I have never seen them. And have one seen one tuck with them. I will look harder. Thanks. I was thinking they were few and far between

Bridge plate parts Interested in the domed shaped covers for the bridge plate numbers? Is there any around.

I found out my injector Head was for an old early gen pump. So pulled and serviced a more appropriate one to install. Also started detailing the nutso nonworking mess behind the gauges. Sanded and cleaned the paint off the red markers on the dash. And with a dab of superglue made a small dome...

Confidence comes with talking to good folks. I’m getting it. Faster and faster I’m knocking things out. Luck for no big problems. And this is getting fun. not a serviceable part......? Right.... no problem.

Yes Sir. I am no longer test running the machine until I get at least the valve lash set. I purchased a running Hercules and I will start swapping parts back-and-forth until I have this thing sorted out. If I replace the injector pump how many gears and gizmos are going to come flying out of...

I can’t hear the turbo unless it’s doesn't start. Then I can only hear it through the pipe

Yes. I’m checking the TMs, starting at number one. I will be adjusting the rockers before I run it anymore. Then figure out why I’m blowing unburnt fuel. With this other motor I can try different things until it’s running right.

Ok so I just picked up this engine (Hercules) for a song. Good for parts swapping.

What causes the valves to start clattering as the power drops off? Happens when I’m heading up a hill, or just driving in 3rd and 4th? I need to set the valves, and read I guess. That smoking ain’t gonna cut it.

Haha go big or go home! Right on.
