    Hello all, I acquired this machine a few month back and have more or less fixed a variety of issues, including overheating and fuel/oil leaks. Today I bolted the muffler back on top of the engine, and after some manual fuel pumping and jump starting, got her running again. She'd been sitting...

    Lack of power in a turbo engine, generi

    Hi, I have another thread going, but I figured I'd try something more general. I'm an amateur mechanic when I need to be. I have a backhoe with a turbocharged Perkins 1004 (40T, AK series, 4.4l), and it's not developing full power. I'd say maybe 60-75%. Obviously, this would be because the...

    Hi all, I have a Ford 750 TLB that I've been resurrecting, and right now I have the motor out for a sleeve job (it's got a cylinder wall cavitation pinhole). My question is this: what if anything should I do to the torque converter and/or tranny while the engine is out? It's hard to say...
