Roger that Rusty. That is also where the auxiliary oil feed lines plumb into. That is 1/8" npt right?

It is worth asking, what kind of motors do you have? Are they all A/C motors or are some D/C? What exactly are they? Fuel pumps and water pumps?

Not much if you ever plan to tow anything. You can always turn the fuel back down though if you get an itch for a trailer.

There is no biodiesel in my fuel, as it isn't exactly diesel. F24 I believe is what it is. I get motor pool drainings for low cost. I thought I had mentioned that, but looking back I see that I never did. Apologies.

I hadn't thought of it that way. I certainly didn't check the well oiled ones for wear either.

Alright guys, we know that this was an "experiment" in selling these vehicles to the public. We all know that thousands upon thousands of these soft skinned trucks are sitting in almost every motor pool across the nation. Because this was an "experiment" there has to be an in depth AAR with the...

Ok then, another question. At Napa they sell a large equipment fuel tank water absorber, like a 3-4 foot long 3" round tampon that is reusable. If I drop one of those in there would it absorb water from the fuel or just off the water bottom? Btw, I do have the tank water drains plumbed with 1"...

While you have it off, pull the snapring and endcap out of the rocker shaft and see if you find and gunky sludge buildup in there would you?

It could very well be the throw out bearing, and I it could be missing one of the retainers allowing it to walk from where it should be and grind on something. You still need to go through all of your wheel hubs before you drive it much more.

I would bet that he either had a failure related to lack of oil to the heads, or he had the valve cover off once and didn't like the low amount of oil up there.

Are they feeding both heads from just the #3 oil galley plug?

I have yet to find a solution to my issue. I added a bottle of "Killem" biocide to each as well as a bottle of Stabil diesel biocide to one of them and let them sit without agitation. It still all looks like milky water. How long does it normally take for biocide to kill off an infection? And...

Yeah, that is what the holes on either side of the glove box are there for.

Lack of oil can wear valve guides and cause or add to blowby through the valve guide, or as you said, burning oil too. I do smell some oil burning when I take off after idling for a while.

Extra oil where there isn't much couldn't hurt right? I want to see all of my valves well oiled. That lack of oil up top may have contributed to the blowby that I have now. There is no good reason for any of the rocker arms to have dry oil channels. The oil runs down them to lube the top of the...

So in the pictures that Jason posted the auxiliary oil feed lines look to be about 1/2" or maybe larger. They also appear to be a combination of soft lines and maybe plastic air line? I would consider doing this with some 1/8" or maybe 1/4" copper line for the full lengths of the lines. That...

Oh yeah! Cool, I just realized what you did there! I guess it pays to look at both pictures.:doh:

I know what signifies a thick deck block, I just never noticed my engine doesn't have the TD cast in. All my spare engines have thick deck blocks.

The LDT 465 in my truck now isn't a thick deck either. Always thought it was until recently I noticed it wasn't.

Crazy how much of it is really unchanged from tractor to the truck.
