Anthony,
If you having the get-together at home. Put up a sign that says.
NO Work Tonight R & R ONLY
Put at the entrance to the garage. You can show it off but you can'y
turn any tools. You need a break to refresh your mind. That way
when you start the re-instalation your fresh and sharp.

Enjoy your evening

Sean

 

...... and how come I'm not invited?

 

Mike you & I can run down together, I'll pick you up.........

 

So over the last two days I have sat in front of my computer reading every single post within this rebuild. I must say that there is some amazing knowledge. This is and excellent documentation, and I can't wait to see the video of it start up. Alot of the pics are great for those of us that have never seen that far in depth of the 6.0L. I am definately saveing this to my favorites for future referance to the pics and info!!! Can't wait to see how the rest comes out and to see the finished product. Will stay tuned.

 

yes lots of very smart people around here, none of us charge or get paid for helping. its all about people just helping people, thats why i like it here. but you are a better person then me... no way im gonna sit back and read 70 pages of any thread.

 

I agree with you, thats why I love this forum! It was alot of reading, but Ihave my settings changed. So it's only 26 pages. Well worth the read though!

 

1041 replies that is the number you should watch.
How is everyone doing after all that turkey?

Sean

 

We are doing great here in Austin, Texas. very nice fall weather
Temperature between 60-75 Decree

 

this thread has been going on so long..my hair just started to turn gray

 

Quick question...why is one of the tags at the bottom of the screen 777? Just curious again.

 

Like a Bookmark

I think folks can TAG this thread or ANY Thread for that matter to come back to it at a later Date without a ton of searching

they tag it with whatever combo numbers or letters they want


For me the threads I keep track of I just copy the Address at top of page and Name it and save to computer

To come to a specific Post in a Thread I just hit linkback at the post I want and Copy the Address bar again and save

I copy the Address bar so I can post it in a thread so others can hit/click on it and be taken to said thread

 

Looks good Antony, I still say paint the entire engine Cat yellow. Ain't nothing wrong with a yellow motor...out pulled many a Cummins & Detroit with one.If you use the "permalink" in the upper right-hand corner of any post...that will bring to you back to a specific post in a thread. Regardless of the post/page count. Right click on it and "copy link" or "copy link location" and you've got that particular link address that you can use to come back to that exact spot in a thread. I know with Firefox, you can also bookmark that post; not sure with IE, Chrome or other browsers. Same basic idea when someone sends you Reps, the reps will bring back to that specific post if you link on the link in your CP.

 

Well guys,,, Saturday was a total recoup day.... But we're up n @ em today. Got some pics

This is the engine side of the rear cover. I dipped the seal in oil




Ta29 on the bed plate joint. N I put some on the hpop area


Pretty basic to bolt the rear cover on. On to the hpop


This is where the rear cover could be destroyed. The stc fitting would come loose n beat the heck outta the rear cover.


Three mounting bolts




The cover has a press in place gasket. I coated with oil. Then dried it where the sealant goes. The block to rear cover joint gets ta29 also. I put a thin bead all the way across the rear cover also. No pics of that. Sorry


Love that lifting plate. The notches work great



Dipped the ipr valve in oil


The ipr socket is nice too


Onto the rear crank seal


Here is a pic of the mating surfaces.


The front seal needed loctite, but the rear one is coated already


I was confused about the adapter piece of plastic


Break out the kit,,, thx to specialtools (ray in Austin)))


Rear installer


Same concept as the front seal



This is where the adapter piece goes



K. That's it. Bout to get the soap out. More pics soon. Painting today.

 

Now I'm wondering if I put the seal in backwards. More on that n a sec

50/50 soap n water







Neither side of this seal looked like any pics of any other ones. Is this backwards???


It looks good to me,,, as long as I didn't put it in backwards.

 

What is the arrow for? Direction of rotation?
