FINALLY got it to leak by running at sustained high (for a diesel) RPM. Looks like it's just the valve cover gasket! Now to find another one and put the car back together!

Been wondering what this beast sounds like? Can you post a sound clip?

QUOTE(JeffBowlsby @ Jul 16 2021, 09:00 PM)  Been wondering what this beast sounds like? Can you post a sound clip? I'll give it a shot. I'll have to figure out how. Tried to take a video off the phone for here but it wouldn't work. Sound is bad inside the garage too. Have to wait a few days for a valve cover gasket, surprized! will wait for next weekend to put it back together, Mark Henry got the gearset in the mail yesterday to put higher gears in it! He's hoping to have the trans done for next weekend. |

I added a muffler, but you're right. I ran this engine for a lot of years with no muffler. When the timing is further advanced at the injection pump it's a little noisier. |

Back in one piece (mostly) with the geared up transmission. Got a throttle cable issue though. Custom cable worked fine for a couple of years but started to have pedal issues this year. Doesn't want to return to idle. Checked everything, thought maybe pedal was binding up, doesn't seem to be. Good springs on injection pump for return to idle. I think it's the cable...
Guy that made this one in London is on vacation for 3 weeks starting today. I just called. Anyone know where to get a custom length throttle cable? This week? In Canada? Preferable SW Ontario? |
