Diesel

This is what the valves are set at on the isx Cummins on the Dino 11/14/12. The first set of valves at make A ether cylinder 1 or 6 "brake exhaust and intake" are the ones that take the longest to measure. Starting out you don't know the range to start with after the first few you measure it gets easier because you start a routine. you start jotting down the feeler gauge measurements and if the motor is correctly adjusted they will be similar or in specs from the Cummins website.

 black dodge codes found that the injectors are open!

The truck was throwing up codes for the diesel particulate filter. The valve for the fuel was taken off the truck and put onto a beacon for measuring. The amount of diesel that gets injected into the particulate filter is about 8 oz.

Safety is key

WARNING:

HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LINES DELIVER DIESEL FUEL UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE FROM THE INJECTION PUMP TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. THIS MAY BE AS HIGH AS 23,200 PSI (1600 BAR). USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN INSPECTING FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS. FUEL UNDER THIS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE CAN PENETRATE SKIN CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. INSPECT FOR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL LEAKS WITH A SHEET OF CARDBOARD. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND ADEQUATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING WHEN SERVICING FUEL SYSTEM. this is a warning label from aldata Pressure/velocity related injury to the index finger estimated at between 100-1,000 lbs/sq.in.  i looked up some more on the lethal strike video and on the web and saw this pressure warning but i think its being nice you could several injury at even lower psi

way way over 300 hours for work and right on track for school

I took a fuel presser test from the fuel filter and manafold, both read 65 psi.smthing i learned over the weekend is a blinker light just because it has three wires comming off it and has a cool flash took it doesnt need all three wires hooked up. I took about a half hour rewiring this blinker nice and neat. the wiring was all green and didnt work. i asked the driver to try his blinker and yes it blinked like the other side but what i didnt know is that three wire set up is so if you wanted the blinkers to act as running lights for the front. what i wired up was running slash blinkers for the rear. Thats  illigal

Thats a shock

 This is the valve cover on the 7.3 in the shop at school. I took the cover off because iv never seen wires integrated into a gasket before. Don't poke holes in wires you could get shocked says the manufacture.

The glow plugs take alot of current to run them.

Schooling in Motion

 plastic gauge it came in within specification the tolerance the kobota book called for were .0007 to .0020 and we measured .0015

 upon disassembling this motor we found no rings. one thing i can take from this motor dissembly is i know the names for the parts allot better and there locations on the motors. another piece of information i learned it the 4 Cly are a shaky motor due to being only a 4. one thing kobota did to stop this is add weight balancers ran off an idler gear.

this is a corroded battery i found at work on a service i did. just tells you always check every thing when servicing machiniory

kubota

30 hours of work last week and 12 hours of school

Today my group and i started the disassemblly on the kubota 3300 diesel motor. I noticed it doesn't take  long to get in a chest deep out of order dirty mess when disassembling a motor. We got the head off and were into the tops of the pistons in a totals of 20 Min's. but something i saw others doing is taking card board and labeling it then sticking there parts into for a tidy little package.
