When you buy or receive an engine core you like to think you know what you are getting. Here is one way to get a heads up on the shape that core engine might be in. This engine came out of a road crane.
Off topic question. Do you have a part number of a or a certain tool you use to access and remove B series injector lines with when doing a injector isolation test? I’ve been tasked with running fuel system tests and it seems like it takes 45 minutes to remove each line with my hodgepodge of tools I have. Thank you sir
If you mean the common rail lines. I know some are buried behind the intake housing. We use straight wrenches and sometimes crow foot wrenches. Most of the time we pull the intake housing off. It does not take that long and it it is important to retorque the lines correctly. We also use line wrenches for the rusted up line nuts when we run across them. The other thing is Access. In a chassis where half the lines are under the cab it is a pain and time consuming. We are not shy about pulling off overhead air filter assemblies or inner fenders if they are even removeable.
Hey Joe I’m having an extremely hard time with the after treatment air actuator. Code 3225 just wondering if you can make a video on this if you already have can you point me in that direction?
engines with liners are field repairable, if your removing it you know its junk, you can hone nonliner engines but same goes for them if your removing its junk, toss it in the furnace melt it down and make a new one, cores charges are to keep it out of competitors rebuild shops.
Core charges are also so the OEM gets the parts back to rebuild. We only buy core engines to rebuild them. We have also purchased core engines that we were told were good and ended up not worth rebuilding. So it is just another layer of protection.
