You could be correct. The stamp usually seems to be on metallic flake gaskets, so that would make sense.
@johngoldsmith6629
@johngoldsmith6629 2 года назад
You are correct on what A/F stands for. The first A/F 40 bolt oil pan gasket I put on. I use a impact and the first bolt that I tighten, the gasket blew out both sides. It was a brown color and had to snug the bolts. That gasket material did not last long. Then they came out with a green color gasket. As asbestos had to be removed, Cat was struggling to find something that worked. The green gasket would shrink over time and the bolts would get loose. Seen many Cat 3406 with wet spots around gasket joints. On the 3408 the fuel room guys would put two gaskets on certain spot to stop the leak. I showed a Cat rep on one 3406, turned the front cover bolt 1/2 turn on a fairly new engine. I would retorque front cover bolts, before they got a lot of miles. The green gasket would absorb the oil and not repel it. Once gasket was oil soaked the bolts would start to loosen up. Now the big one, head gaskets. Mainly during the 4MG series and a SL was out, that was prorated. The dreaded red head gasket. Guaranteed to fail before overhaul. We had eight trucks in the shop at one time with blown head gaskets. Also during this change over. Some bright engineer removed the steel spacer plate and replaced it with aluminium. That added to the failure, as the material of the gasket did not like the material of the spacer plate. The red gasket had a teflon coating if I recall. Head bolt torque was increased to 370FT LBS, did not help. So second step was to remove the red coating on the bottom if I recall with limealene (not sure of the spelling). So you would lay your worthless red head gasket on cardboard. Get your limealene and put some on a rag and remove the coating, turning the bottom side back to black. Put gasket on, torque bolts to 370 and hope it gets out of warranty. The red head gasket was changed and they was no longer red. The next gasket did better and the head bolt torque was dropped back down. Finally Cat figured it out and the head gaskets do a good job.

Fun fact, Adept Ape's uniform is what was used when I worked for one whole dollar a day as I did my 6 month sentence working for VADOT and I appreciated every second. Had a job waiting when I got out and have been clean ever since, except for grease, oil, dirt and sometimes mayonnaise. Edit: I'm not getting paid to sell jail but I did stay at a Holliday Inn Express once. Anyways they had real mattresses and showers with both hot and cold knobs instead of the spring loaded freezing scalding freezing off button and we got to vote on DVDs the Deputy would bring in and play. Don't delay, don't do what I did today.

@brucejones2354
@brucejones2354 2 года назад
Joe, it seems that you got a bit carried away. Three separate posts of the same question? ? ? There could be several reasons the relays could be hot. 1, the windings in the coils could be shorting out. 2, excessive current draw from the circuit. 3, resistance in the contact points. 4 the relays could have been undersized ( not rated for the expected current draw ), in order for the manufacturer to keep their inventory count down. This will also lead to increased parts sales because the relays will fail more frequently and will have to be replaced. Sometimes this will require shop time to troubleshoot the problem, and possibly a road call or tow to the shop.

@farerse
@farerse 2 года назад
Sorry if this is off topic but maybe you can answer why some car models (BMW/Mercedes) are labeled as "injection" which means it runs on gasoline. Isn't diesel considered injection as well?
@DeathHead1358
@DeathHead1358 2 года назад
They're likely direct injected, which means that there is a fuel injector that injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Direct injection for diesels has been the standard for around 30 or 40 years, but for gasoline engines it's relatively new (last 10 or so years). However, fuel injection in gas engines has been around in American vehicles since (I believe) the late 80s to early 90s in various separate types, which opens up a whole different can of worms going through them. The TL;DR of it is all that injection refers to on a gas engine is how the fuel delivered to the engine.
@farerse
@farerse 2 года назад
@@DeathHead1358 thanks I guess car makers were kind of bragging about the car having gasoline injection rather than a carburetor, diesels never run with a carburetor that I know of? So it was always injection. BMW/Mercedes still name their models with a D for diesel and I for gasoline since the late 80s

@@helvete8498 It does all of these things. You have to cool the piston, also you need to lubricate the wrist pin and pin bore. Four bolt rods on a truck engine has oil hole in it. Upper rod bearing has a hole to allow oil to the top. As with any engine the oil ring is to control excessive oil on the cylinder wall. The main purpose of the piston rings is to dispel heat.
