I dropped the head on but have some questions about what washers to use where since it was years ago that I took these apart. I have all these parts left over. Granted, some I believe are from another unit that I removed the head from. I used those thin washers above to drop onto the recess...

Just putting the original shim packs back on it is! Ready to drop the head back on next: @Daybreak thanks for the link to the engine paint thread. Since I have a mix of models ranging from 2000 to 2009, I have definitely noticed they are not all the same color. I'll price out the stainless...

Oh and here are the dimensions of the block:

That's a real shame about all those perfectly good blocks... So I got my caliper batteries and attempted to shim the injector pumps, but I don't seem to be able to get it. I zeroed the dial indicator at TDC: I then rotated counter clockwise to get past a 0.99" drop and then rotated...

Once I get the batteries in for my calipers, I'll measure my block and post the dimensions here. The 2 holes in it are not threaded, they are just there for the bolts to pass through. The small 2nd piece is threaded though. I'll measure it too although you can make do with just using a zip...

Lol sure, but I'll have to put you to work!

Lol, I hear you. Like I said, I think that's the way it it. The picture in the TM looks like it butts right up against it: But that's probably just variances in exactly where that end piece is punched through the rack.

The henhouse has power, water and Internet (well Ethernet, but same thing). Power for lights and automatic chicken door. Ethernet for PoE security cameras. So yeah, in a pinch, if the wife puts me in the doghouse, I could go live in the henhouse, or the 1/3 of it that is the storage area. :)...

I got the 5 802s from a fellow named Dean out of MD. He had them posted on CL. He had purchased a bunch of stuff from auction and realized that he would never get around to fixing all of it, so he sold me the 802s for very close to what he paid for them. He had all kinds of projects going...

Thanks! Order placed for 5 meters, which should be enough for a couple of units. I also updated initial thread with a table to better track progress. Updated version here with work completed as of now: Unit Acquire Date Build Date Hours Cost Engine ID Tag Initial Condition Main Work...

Was getting ready to time the injection pumps, but realized the battery in my digital calipers was dead, so I ordered up a 20 pack of the small 356 1.5 volt batteries. They should be here Wednesday. I shouldn't run out again anytime soon, lol. I'm setup and ready to go otherwise. I spent...

Trust me, I have no plans to ever leave this place! That's not the henhouse. This is the henhouse: :) That "thing" on the backside of the shop is the intake for air to cool the mining rigs during the summer. Here's a pic after installing the fan, but before adding the intake filters...

Lol yeah. Mostly GPU mining these days and mostly RTX 3080 and RTX 3090s. In all, the rigs consume about 8,400 Watts 24/7. During the winter I keep them all up in my house as they provide all the heat I need. In the summer, they hang out down in my shop building. 2020 solar production vs...

Good catch! That's a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Afton is on the Eastern side of the Blue Ridge, about 25 miles outside Charlottesville. Here's a view from last spring that shows the mountains much better. You can see my shop building in the lower left corner, where I did most of the...

I went and picked up a jug of the magic Evapo-Rust along with a jug of Kerosene at Tractor Supply this morning. Also stopped by Lowe's to get a small breaker panel and breakers for a load bank I'm building. Dropped the 2 injection pumps into the Kerosene and the bolts and misc mounting...

I'm reviving this old thread as I have finally started to work on these again. This thread was started way back on 6/21/2014, so almost 8 years ago now! Wow how times flies! What brought this into focus for me again is that we recently had a 6 day power outage during the first big storm of...

Yep. I drained the fuel tank down to about 1" from the bottom and then added 2 gallons of fresh fuel. I then ran the pump for a few minutes while also loosening the drain plug at the bottom of the larger fuel filter and drained out half a cup or so. After that I attempted to start it again...

So I started a thread about 7 years ago about rebuild a number of 802s that I picked up. Life happened and I wasn't able to get back to them until very recently. I got one unit running pretty quickly during a recent power outage we had that lasted almost a week. Today I went to fire up a...

I have a 1983 GMC C7000 with air brakes, so that would not be an issue. Has a big block 427 gasser, so not the best from a fuel efficiency standpoint, but with dual 50 gallons tanks, it still get decent range, despite getting around 5 mpg, lol. That trailer definitely put that Ram 3500 to...

Man, that M1061A1 sure is nice looking! Will DEFINITELY keep an eye out for one of those. I'd be all over it for a price like the one below: https://www.govplanet.com/for-sale/Flatbed-Trailers-Utility-Tool-%26-Body-M1061A1-T%2FA-Flatbed-Trailer-Colorado/5291335/NSN/2330-01-207-3533
