I'm a ways away. 1 of my sets needs a bore/hone/pistons/rings/valve seats cut/valves lapped. The other needs a new control setup as the harness caught fire. Yeah...it was a rough auction. My setup won't look crazy. Just going to go to Home Depot and grab a single elbow and maybe a 6"...

I previewed a lot. The flapper didn't mean anything. Lifted plenty a flapper to find an exhaust full of water. ac

The flappers are gone because they stack the units. Don't worry, the flapper design SUCKS. Even the unit I have with a flapper is terrible. The flapper fails to close after the machine runs 90% of the time. I'm scrapping the flapper and just going to run a 90 degree black pipe elbow. ac

That is one disadvantage to the 24V setup, you can't just jump it from your truck. However, if you do your maintenance runs, it shouldn't be a big deal. If you are worried about maintaining the charge, talk to "TurboJoe". I think he has a nice 24V charger setup figured out for these MEPs. ac

I think the slave output on the generator is more of an "input". The batteries in the generator are TINY compared to what is found in a 5-ton, or even a Deuce. I think the slave cable on the generator was intended to start the generator from the truck, not the other way around. ac

Why? Alternator is 24V also. What is the end goal? Save a battery? ac

Crack the line to the injector and see if you get diesel as you crank the engine. ac

I was astonished at how silent the 802 was when I first heard it fire up with the enclosure intact and the doors closed. It's...almost...CIVILIZED! ac

Ratch, Keep us posted with what you find. I got one of mine that was "stuck" to spin. There was significant rust build up on the cylinder walls. We wound up pulling the head and are working to restore the cylinder. ac

Yeah...to a degree. That is the gist of how the head comes off. ac

Drain the oil, fill it with fresh oil. Get ready to change the oil often. Heck, change the oil in your truck and use what you take out to flush this motor. You WILL need 3-4+ changes to get it clear. Steal the batteries from your cars or something. You don't want to be $200 into batteries...

Pull the injectors and put a few spoon fulls of ATF in. Let it soak a bit. Then add some more then next day or so and rotate the engine over. Don't fret TOO much about the water. Yes, technically it won't compress. If you vacuumed it out and then turn the engine over with the injectors out...

GO ASAP. Do us all a favor and go look at the next lot also, I see they already have another pile up on the site. We have 1 "runner". Of course it was the highest hour unit, that was originally missing parts. We expected IT would be the "parts" unit and it was the cheapest unit we bought...

Good luck! I know the set you won. Hopefully it works out for you. I'm not sure how I feel about the resets. The criteria for the RESET induction is either 3500 hours on the unit OR major failure of the motor or generator side. You might have a generator with 4600 hours on the gen side. You...

Maybe. Lots of screws and the work space is a bit cramped. Just fiddly. Nothing more difficult than a typical truck. ac

Sounds like a fun project. The oil fill caps are most likely there. They are chain tethered to the engine. If your are worried about the oil fill caps, you probably have a world of hurt ahead of you getting 8 of them going. What WILL most likely be missing is the fuel filter case. You'll...

PB Blaster around the injector. Loosen the fuel line nut, but do not remove, just crack it loose. Remove the keeper. Use a wrench to rotate the injector while PB Blasting. Use a pry bar to pop injector. Remove line. About the only way I could get the 6 we've played with apart. ac

Have you dropped your control panel down and looked behind? ac

I bet he'll be willing to sell some parts. ac

That's good news. Maybe Turbo can swap the motor from his "fire" unit into his "drowned" unit. ac
