a little something

[swankmetal]

i did to keep me busy while waiting for that missing part.

 

[Stomp]

Uh OH did you guys get a look at his sig. "Twins are getting fuel as we speak". Well the first thing that I saw was his pump was missing. Hey Swank who are you having build the pump???? I have about 3300 miles on my new one it feels real good. I am just about to max it out as soon as I get my dana 80 under the old the old girl. Hopefully I should have it in here in the next couple of weeks.



By the way I like the breathers are you going to do all 6????



I will send you a pm.

i hope i don't have to do all of 'em. we'll see. kinda hard to miss the missing part i guess, huh?

 

[DieselBuzz]

I see one of your turbos lurking in the background what are you using?

Those breathers remind me of an old MG.

 

[swankmetal]

that ones just a plain old h1c/40. the other one is a bht3E. a little smaller all the way around than a 3B. take a look in my gallery for some better shots of the turbos.

Swank you are the Grand Master Fab! "Sure I can drop my transmission pull my oil pan so I can weld in the second oil return. And I'll make the oil return flange into a support for the second turbo, yeah, sure. " Maybe we should call you Dr. FrankenSwank? :-laf

Dave, Stomp you see my 24V oil fill/crankcase vent I posted last week? Must of got ya motivated to add some venting eh?

uhhhhh, there was a little more to it than that. the transmission was out because i was rebuilding/thinking of swapping to 5600, and the adapter plate was off for the same reason. and i STILL wouldn't recommend pulling the pan with the engine in the truck. getting the oil sucker tube back on was a serious PITA. but anyway, thanks. it was a bit of work, that's for sure.



bill, i did skim through that thread. looked pretty cool. how much did you end up spending on that setup? and that doesn't replace the stock one, right? just adds some? i did it because, i think, with the 400k+ miles, i'm getting a little too much blowby. which is creating too much positive crankcase pressure, which is restricting the oil return from the turbo, which is pushing oil out the seals of the turbos and coating the IC pipes and filling the innercooler.







maybe i'll get to rebuild it this winter.

I must have missed it. I will go digging and see if I can find it.



Dave's looks better than mine :{

Here it is. Same as the one you have, only has the an oil fill addition . No more waiting forever to add 3 gallons of oil through the valve cover :-laf . The oil fill tube is simply your stock fill tube screwed onto the crankcase breather. ~$40.

Edit: Dave, I didn't do anything with the stock crankcase breather. This just adds more breathing. I'm gonna run some 5/8" heater hose off the metal tube back to around the stock vent, so as to reduce oil/gunk buildup.

 

[swankmetal]

so when did you switch to a cummins industrial, bill?

 

[bgilbert]

It's my Cummins industrial tractor motor!!! Cummins Beige paint.

 

[swankmetal]

well, it's getting back together. won't start though. not sure what to think just yet.
