I believe my M1009 originates from the Florennes air base... you may likely have driven it there and then..?!? It seems to have been largely painted yellow as far as I can see underneath the multiple paint layers... would that make sense to you? Cheers, Jake

Good evening Barrman, I remember coming across that Hot Rod magazine article very well, I think it was in the early '80s and I actually made a copy and must have it stored here somewhere. I was very impressed by this approach... also because at the time I drove a Chevy Monza, with that same...

In addition to your concerns for heat expansion and tolerances, please note: Sorry, I can only give you the values in metric, but the principle stays the same The thermal expansion factor for steel is: 0.0000072. Note that this is the value for regular steel. Injector nozzles and needles are...

MarcusOReallyus, We are thinking very much alike!! In the back of my head I am indeed keeping the option of heating up as much as possible but not necessarily to 750° F in case such may cause unpredicatble or other complications. Any notable level of fuel preheating will likely translate into...

Hi Frank, :) ... Kaggevinne is a small village in, by now turned nearly completely socialist (=actually meaning communist) belgium. Not much relevance here, other than socialism will most likely soon forbid or even prosecute me for doing this research and work on my model ultra clean high...

The (~complete) ceramic engines, built in one piece and with virtually 0% heat losses exists and has much better thermal properties than the traditional engines. Virtually no heat is lost, to the point that the cabin heating actually becomes an issue.... Sure thing, but it's not going to come...

OK, I do understand what you mean. I must have poorly expressed myself, my appology! The systems I'm speaking of use the heating element wire wrapped around the injector lines POST injection pump. Check, but again, this does not apply to this system. You're asking for a precision machined part...

Agreed! And I am familiar with the WVO heating elements in various forms. They generate heat, yes, just enough to make the WVO sufficiently fluid for filtering, pumping and pushing through the IP, but nothing even close to what I am talking about here!! Do not confuse these two systems, with...

All, I have been facinated by engines my whole life. Managing fuel consumption has become an important element in my research ever since I was 10y old nd because I could barely aford buying a few liters of gasoline every week for my off-road use only, 1954 VW Beetle 1100cc and thus I've been...

Had a look at these injector nozzles again. Are all the needles stuck? Corroded? Or just sticking because of the jelly like fuel? What does this jelly smell like? Frying oil? Wash them in kerosine, soak them and hey should free up. Be carefull not to bend or snap off the small needle tip...

I know about the test as such, but never had it clarified to this extent. Thanks, Jake

Good morning Sharcropper, Once more thank you for the advice. Will follow your direction and see where I get from there. 2 weeks ago I finally got my new timing sprocket and chain set with the last (container) shipment form USA (took 16 months to get here....), so replacing the old one is on...

Hi Sharecropper, And thank you for the good advice! I have advanced my IP a lot more then just a match at present. Would chain stretch have anything to do with that? I have nearly 25.000M on the speedometer but it did not work when I purchased it so could be a few 10000’s more… Not sure if...

Thanks! I’ll be doing some measurements on my German made diesels and search for commonalities in diesel timing. Best chance will be with my Henschel 4 cyl 5200cc I guess… cheers, Jake

Ok Bud, Hope things work out! Remember to keep all parts of each injector separated from one another, otherwise you will have to recalibrate your injectors, like the German mechanic on YouTube demonstrates. cheers, Jake

Vanaisa, Using an ultrasonic cleaner is great for cleaning injectors, IPs, carburetors and any small parts! Normally these come with "special" solvents, which are usually (over)priced... Not likely your company will allow you to use anything else then what they prescribe. Personally, I use...

Hello Vanaisa, Don't trash your old nozzles with needle valves yet. From the picture, nothing dramatic actually. Need some good TLC and cleaning. Put the nozzles (likely the entire dissassembled injector in a good cleaning solvent, preferably use an ultrason cleaner and set it hot and as...

Hi Barrman, I have a 6.2 N/A in a 1985 M1009, which I am still restoring at this stage. Adding a turbo may be something for later on, once it is on the road... I had white smoke at idle and most engine speeds actually, so checked the timing and it was -4°. I assume this is caused by timing...

Hi Barrman, Thanks for that! Will check those measurements on my 1985 M1009. I have 2 sets Tach-n-Time so the timing signal should not be an issue. And if the magnetic probe does not work or if I do not trust the position of the probe holder, I can always use an inductive strobe light as...
