K I S S Sorry, but this may have great meaning here.

All good here brother.

Geographical vocabulary; English be hard. Avenger is correct on the more correct term for that turbo center piece. I probably should check myself better using terms from my area, when typing to other geographical distant HOF members. It is interesting though, many, many moons ago, this assembly...

Bbrrrrr Blue-Tip wrench in a close bilge. Sends shivers down my back. I was thinking drilling big holes in the nipple and with a rod/bar twisting it out. You were rite about no 2.5" internal pipe tools. Seems they stop at 2" but I bet they are around in some specialty shop,, somewhere. Just...

Do not lean on that nipple and cock if your still in the water. Do you have vertical room for an internal pipe wrench or basin tool? In the swamps, I use wood blocks against the frames or stringers. Then a long bar or 2by as my lever against the blocks and wrench end. Sometimes you need a...

There are pressure and temp senders for dual (matching) gauges you may need to purchase. You may need to check the wiring to ensure the leads are in series for this (normal installation). No telling what mods have been made to your wire harnesses.

Any real DDC shop or turbo shop will offer the chunk. Just offer the part number on the turbo tag. Also, I have read about blueprinted, whole performance turbos were the whole turbo is fit and matched beyond factory tolerances. Some reports are it's better, some report SSDD. I fear those that...

You are beyond saving the turbo chunk (spindle and bearings) to make them spin freely. Once fracked, they are fracked. You are going to have to replace the chunk or whole turbo. The dump can is held on by a V clamp. The dump can should fall off without that V clamp. The bolts in the picture do...

I would prefer to stay aweigh from any pump using plastic or synthetic materials. Were still using Walbro and Oberdorfer for us and our customers.

Patience.... Tighten it up and watch your pressure gauge a few days. Just because you made a tension adjustment and you think it is still leaking does not mean squab. It could still be fluid dripping from the previous leak. Patience. Clean up what you can and wait, watch that pressure gauge...

May I suggest a fix for these issues that I have done before; I made fiberglass tubing with just short hose connects on each end. This removed the hose bend and so much easier to service. You can form different sized hose ends with no metal adapters. I have done the same for our Bertram. I can...

We had a shaft straightened. it was recommended to be replaced but we did not have those funds at the time. About a year later I needed to apply some tall horsepower to that prop in St Johns inlet,, The bend came back and vibrated just as before. Almost a couple of years ago, we finally replaced...

From many years ago, I send pictures and measurements to my kids at Rome Truck Parts. They answer my questions and mail exact replacements at great savings. http://rometruckparts.com/

In the big DCv box near that engine.

I just updated my 12s with an Aetna sender on my front pulley. I always wondered but my mechanical take off from the blower drive was off a bit. 8709: Magnetic Sensor Kit (for custom application on diesel engine without a tachometer drive) On the bottom of this page...

Next, your numbers are in spec. What started this rat trap? If you think you have an alignment issue, Re-Read post # 11.

As sparky66 mentioned, a proper shaft alignment includes twisting the shaft 90° and measuring again. I used to place a 0.010 shim under one bolt then measure all points while rotating the shaft. Then twist the shaft 90° to the flange and do it again, again, again. This proves no deflection in...

Do us a favor, reach down to the other belt run, What belts are loose and tight? I bet a (cheap) cup of coffee, the other belt is slack a bit.

Looks like an un-used sender screwed on to the back of a first sender. I have plastic caps covering the back (out) of my first sender. I'll send pics of this also.
