 Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 7:53 am Post subject: FI Air Filter Support Pedestal |
 |
|
This 79 bus I have been working on does not have the pedestal to support the air filter. It had a bungie cord to hold it..
I poked around in the classifieds, but perhaps I am not searching for the correct part name.
Anyone know just what I should be looking for? |

you have to love those clever people who cut things off of vehicles. "gee, this thing's in mah way, all jest cut it off". i don't recall ever seeing one for sale, better to find an ad for someone parting a late model bus and ask them to cut it out.

Thanks Scott I will poke around in there some more.
The engine that came out had completly sheared off the 5 bolts that hold the flywheel to the crankshaft. Something is certainly amiss in there. |

over or under torque. Check the crank for cracks around the bolt holes. You are probably Ok. As a general rule one should always replace those bolts as they crystalize and fatigue over time.

Send a PM to Brian (vdubtech), he can probably hook you up. He's very good with a sawz-all!

I have already sent Brian an e-mail. He really is the "Charlie Daniels of the recipricating saw".  (stolen and bastardized from the Sammy Kershaw song)
I have not split the case on this dead engine yet. The bus came with 2 dead engines. This one is the most dead of th e2.
It also had 2 things that JC Whitney used to sell as "anti-fouling" spark plug gizmos on #3 and #4 cylinders. Sort of a spacer where the spark plug screws into the spacer that screws into the head. It effectively mashed the tip of the plug so that there was no gap. |

I'm days away from cutting up a 77 or just loading the entire body ? The pedestal is there, if you don't find one.
As you know sawzall's and blades don't come Free and I don't buy tools from Sears. |
