Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By newguy2k3: Can't you reach a right angle pick(the bigger ones for peeling off hoses) beside the casting to get under the lifter? Otherwise find something to drive/wedge in there then yank it out. We've had some that destroyed the block and never came out. That's where I was going next but decided to stick a cam down the adjacent lifter bore to take a look. Cant tell if the cam lobe is wiped out or not but I'm guessing it is. |

I found some old engine news articles about updated lifters and guides but even those "updated" parts have been updated a few more times. This one still had the factory lifters and guides in it. 12 years old but only 3700 hours. The "fun" part is it's in a Weiler asphalt transfer machine. |

Customer wants me to "clean up the bore and throw a new lifter and cam in it". Who knows how much metal is in the main and rod bearings (can't drop the pan without removing the engine). And I don't even know if I can lift the lifter high enough to clear the journals to get the cam out.
 He's coming by in the morning to take a look at it and talk about it. |

Got em out. No damage to the lifter bores or cam bearings. Surprised that the cam lobe was still there. Just crushed it a bit. Somehow, the roller still turns freely.

Any Cat guys (or anyone, really) having problems getting parts in that contain "Russian steel"? I've been waiting on two hydraulic fittings to make up a hose for 2 weeks now that are on hold because they contain steel from Russia, apparently.

Could be that. That's just what parts are telling us. That being said, of all the shit I've ordered I've never had anything come from Russia. The fittings I'm waiting on are nothing special, so I don't see why they'd only be in Russia. |

Someone mentioned they’ll let this go for $10 million. Unrestored, but it’s all aluminum and that’s really rare?
Already at the classic center, so take it as is or leave a second check and pick it up in 4 years good as new  It’s fantastic. I’d take it as is over the blue one they have next to it in showroom condition.

Who knows. I'm 87% sure they can hit up any of the multitude of hydraulic shops in town and get the fittings I need. When I order things, I can see exactly where it's coming from no matter what dealer network, so parts can't hide that part from me. But it just said "CBO" which is Cat Back Order. They looked into it further and came up with the Russian stuff. We had to order a new surface plate the other day (somehow an 80# plate of steel just disappeared  ) and it wound up being "on hold" because of the same shit.

Nope, all accounted for.
This company has a ton of D8s converted to scraper pulling and they all keep exploding implement pumps for some unknown reason. They just toss in a new pump, clean out the tank if anything made it that far and kidney loop it. Lead tech wants me to go through the valve stack but we have to wait until the owner comes and looks at the damage to see how far he wants to go. |

I have this toyota to unfuck lol
 2.5 Toyota knocking Job one was to get the timing set replaced...it was 3 teeth off on the intake. Still have P0340 but no more code for the reference being an issue, so the actual timing is fixed, now I have to see what's up with that, Toyota OEM manual says at this point, it's looking like it's the sensor of the EMM. I checked out all the wiring and ref voltages...so that's where I am at on that. Now I gotta figure out the loud as knocking at idle.

Boys, the Chinese dun got me finally.
I have largely been unaffected by the supply chain woes/excuse (depending on one's perspective) for the last three years. Now, I need four bushings. Dana 2001897 is back ordered until 11/4/24. Can anyone suggest a dealer or distributor that might have inventory? I know they are in the wild, as they can be had from Ford (5C3Z-3B203-BA) for $80-116/ea. The Dana packaged bushings are only $40/ea. |

Harbor freight sells S wrench’s. Holy shit that’s a dumb spot for a bolt. That was the worst part. The air compressor is in and running. I must say the L10 fired right up even with not bleeding the lines after cracking everything open. The air issue for the brakes is fixed but now the actual brakes have failed now that we can test the machine.

So we've had an 836K in the shop since late summer for transmission and axle work. Due to parts delays he finally got it back together last week. It wont turn over. Did a bunch of electrical t/s with no success. Comes in one morning to find coolant running out of the turbo. Damn thing hydro locked itself.
