    Help with a CAT 307X stabilizer cylinder p/n?

    Hey Nige... Got the stroke measured with all the precision expected of a Taiwan-made measuring tape from c. 2007: 6-3/16", or 157mm. Not as close as I'd have expected to your 172mm spec, even with my ghetto instruments, but seems pretty well like a confirmation. Any idea how much the new...

    Help with a CAT 307X stabilizer cylinder p/n?

    Thanks again, Nige. I'm not sure how to verify other than the rod diameter (50mm, indeed) and stroke (tomorrow, if machine cooperates.) 167mm sounds really short, but I won't know for sure until then. I found a bunch of photos I shot 6 years ago when trying to ID the seals for replacement...

    Help with a CAT 307X stabilizer cylinder p/n?

    Thanks, Nige! You helped me out innumerable times a few years back, but I wouldn't expect you to remember: yes, I do have that parts manual as a hard copy. The jpg I posted is actually a page from that book, but sadly, no, the part numbers are all unfriendly Mitsubishi (I think), other than...

    Help with a CAT 307X stabilizer cylinder p/n?

    Thanks McCall, but no, I think not quite right. One distinguishing feature of these cylinders are the (two each) pronounced, U-shaped bent-flat-bar zerc protectors, to give those fittings a fighting chance against boulders etc that occasionally make it past the blade and drop onto the cylinders...

    Help with a CAT 307X stabilizer cylinder p/n?

    Gray-market low-hours CAT307SSR seeks English-speaking stabilizer cylinders...see attached image for the L/R images and Japanese (I should have said "Mitsubishi") part numbers. They're mirror-image cylinders. A couple of parts people told me there is some kind of CAT in-network parts-lookup...

    Cat 307 Question

    deez, if you've got a smartphone and google photos (the app) then you're 90% of the way there. This is still not well-known, but it's pretty mind-blowing. You can take a photo of whatever foreign text you want to read, then in Google Photos, tap on a 'translate' icon (weird X-like symbol...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    John V - thank you SO much. I've paged through the whole thing at this point. Seems like the generic torque for bolt size from other resources is about twice what Isuzu calls for, so I'm really glad I didn't press on trying to get there. I'm sure this will come in handy for all kinds of...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    ... also haven't run across what appears to be a small coolant hose feeding...the turbo?...gets to it from the water-outlet, then a banjo fitting on the turbo, then down through another small steel tube and into the block, presumably the water-jacket? https://photos.app.goo.gl/rjJEJipd3cwRygru5...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    ...Birken, from your work on the 4JB1/T engines, do all of them have the type of oil-cooler in the photo I'm posting? https://photos.app.goo.gl/pMUF3PMPs5gVrP7S8 Interference with getting to all of my injectors finally caused me to pull out the pair of cooler lines, and of course the hose and...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    That'd be the shank. It's a metric grade 10.9. Width across flats is 14mm.

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    One of about three small but important items I need to cover before this LONG project is done is getting the tightening-torque about right for the injector retaining bolts. I've looked high and low online for this and can't find it. Anyone got common-practice- or factory-manual-based advice...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    Birken, I've not been in touch with local dealer but did reach a very helpful parts guy at Hamilton, so thanks for their contact info. I'm in sticker-shock, though...$172 for the injector pipe (one) and $236 for each injector, without a full set even available if I thought the expense was...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    Yeah, thanks anyway Heymccall, but I don't get that 'video' either (actually a still photo pretending to be a video) - can't make sense of the illustration, even...looks almost like a diesel V8 (two heads?) and yes, the text contradicts what the image shows. Birken, I went back twice this...

    Isuzu 4JB1 T (for turbo) - about zero online parts listings...?

    Thanks so much, Birken. The engine casting is 9780711 (it's in my long post above, buried in the details - see also photo) but in my case, that number is behind the starter-motor, near the bottom of the cast-iron block, BACK left. Does the number seem right? I'm guessing the "97" is the YOM...
