    CAT IT18B ( 1990 ) AIR VALVE QUESTION

    Nige, you beautiful man! Been a while. How are you? Yes, just like that. Is it a neutralizer? And if so, why would you require this function, when the machine has a neutralizer pedal? ( towing? )

    Cat 3306 - Part # 8M4448 O-ring mystery ???

    Appreciate all you replies fella's. kshansen was in deed correct. The o-ring was baked & hardened into the pedestal and thus camouflaged itself to appear as one solid piece. Machine assembled and is pushing dirt as we speak!

    Nige, yes. It is slightly bigger, and has an oil passage hole drilled in it, off to the side of the bolt hole. ( as pictured )

    Cat 3306 - Part # 8M4448 O-ring mystery ???

    This is in fact a spacer plate engine, and there is not place for the o-ring to go. As per the pic on the right, my pedestal does not have a groove inside for an o-ring.

    Cat 3306 - Part # 8M4448 O-ring mystery ???

    I most certainly do! However, you still haven't told me where Granville is... Owned the machine for 10+ years, head never off. Head is original to the engine ( as per numbers ) No o-ring there when disassembled, Pedestals / rocker shaft not disassembled, AND finally, no part number...

    Ford Industrial LSG423 - no spark. is 10v too low?

    To add to the above, low voltage will cause modules to let the smoke out of the box. I wouldn't perform any additional diagnosis until source voltage is at least 12.2v. Remember, 11.7 is considered a dead battery.

    Unfortunetley, it looks as though you do have a module issue. And these are no longer available. There is an update kit for these. LRG 423 MODULE - UPDATE KIT (F5JL-12A297-AA)
