Coolant in oil Detroit 6V53 Diesel Engine

[Junkyard]

I have all the tooling for 53s, 71s, and 92s. Package deal for......a cool mil. LOL

That stuff comes to me. It can go with the 3 sets I already have

There is no injection line to get a timing pulse from. Timing is set by setting a certain distance on the rocker adjustment for the injector.

What you really need is a service manual for this engine. Every diesel has its own little quirks especially the part where you put the overhead stuff back together and make the adjustments.

Yes before you spend too much on tools you should decide what engines you plan to work on and get to know what tools you really need. I'm sure there is at least one person on the forum who can tell you what you need and what you don't really need for just about any engine made in the last 75 years!

Might be just me but I would try to concentrate on what ever is the most common in you area and what age of machines you want to work on.

Well we had 1 nice days so I went to check the oil clances and I can only get it to 60 foot pounds and the stud start to spin
So I went to a different Cap and tried it torque and she same
In all the gas eingens I have done over the years never seen this
Any thoughts

Make sure the rod bolts are lined up right a seated in the rod.

 

[Btad]

They are never had this before

 

[Btad]

The one I checked I only checked the torque
I didn't losses it at all

 

[DMiller]

Should be One flat on Rod Bolt set to Rod Body flat then Nut is torqued.

JY has all my Liner Stuffers, 53/71/92.

The ones I have delt with are either pressed in or a flat like you said
My biggest concern is the one I checked I couldn't go more than 60 fp
And I didn't loosen
Just checking it's torque

Why are you doing that? You are just stretching the threads and ruining the bolt. It doesn't need to be overtorqued.

 

[Btad]

Vetech to the rescue again

I think I just f## up
I was using the wrong specs I thought 120fp
Not 40
Should I replace the 2 I over torqued
Dam amateurs me. Not you me
Thanks vetech

 

[Vetech63]

Definitely replace those bolts.

 

[Btad]

Sounds like a no Brainerd
Thanks

....and the nuts to those 2 bolts.

The other question, when was torque wrench last checked for cal?

 

[Btad]

My old one was a click stop
I just but a new digital
And I did a calc check with 2 different pull scales
I have well over 30+ years in the construction union and the only way to check a level and square is against it self

I have not found any like that for a torque wrench

 

[DMiller]

Most tool sales guys (trucks) that sell better grades will have a torque check scale or can send in torque wrenches as I had done to have calibrated. A lot more complex than truing a square.

 

[56wrench]

Ya, and with most carpenters, as long its close, its good. They have a hard time with measurements in thousandths of an inch or hundredths of a mm

 

[DMiller]

Can buy a test meter, cheaper to send off.

At the school where I went, torque testers were mounted on the wall. Just an arm with a weight driven by a gear with a square hole. When you checked out a torque wrench, they told you to dial up the number you needed on the wall each time. Not to look at the number on the wrench since they did not bother to calibrate them.

The testers never go out of adjustment since they are just a weight on a fixed length.
