just a thought from a different direction, the glow plug controller is not trying to use the throttle cable as a ground wire is it?
don't know if the throttle cable is melted locally or throughout.
I can't remember how many passes I was doing. I think I was letting the fuge run with 40 gal or so for 6-8 hrs. That is the other side of the issue, a single pass with an inline heater seems much more efficient. It as not a huge problem but running the PA fuge is not quite at all.
My pickup is...
I don't think that I am getting the oil clean enough running multiple passes on the biodiesel fuge. With my set up it is sitting on top of a 55 gal barrel and I have the pump circulating oil through for hours but don't think all the oil is running through it multiple times like needed. That, and...
Awesome thanks, so my 3/4 half ton 10.25 axles and drums can fit the bill. I was thinking about it. I could even use the surface where the axle seal rides again for protecting the motor.
yeah, I have been seeing that float around in some other online groups. I don't have any torque converters but I do have extra axles and brake drums lying around. they are also rated to spin at 3750 RPM no problem. I thought about cutting an axle housing off so I could use the wheel bearing. I...
thanks for sharing, I am running a pressure fuge from PA Biodiesel but want to go to a single pass set up like you have. Can you give me some general idea of how large the rotor is in diameter and height? I am thinking about using a modified drum brake on a cut off axle shaft to make the rotor...
Great pictures, I installed the same starter on my boys truck. It made it really easy that the engine was hanging from a chain LOL
Here is to hoping that now his engine is back in his starter has a looooonnnnngggg life and we don't have to deal with removing it out while in the truck!
shuffles feet, I will admit, that guy could have been me when I first started trying. I had a perfect round burn scorch on my thumb the size of a tire valve for a little while trying to keep the pressure in.........LOL
Yep 37$ for one tire! And I took the old tire! Apparently since I did not...
I didn't realize it had so little run time on it. Not the same but when I rebuilt the top end of my Jetta it took longer than that for the lifters to refill and quiet down. I was starting to get really concerned but eventually it cleared and ran another 200k+ miles before retiring at 343K.
the big thing I have found with the either trick is that you still need to get the air chuck on quickly. Once that tire stops bouncing and did blow out out like taco night the fire will consume all the oxygen inside the tire. If you don't go bravely chasing that tire with an air chuck the air...
Something else to think about, not all sleeves are created equal. I have heard horror stories of sleeves dropping out of the cylinder and totaling the engine. If an engine needs to be sleeved it should have a lip on top so that it cannot fail by falling down.
