The center of the damper was egged out slightly. Probably not telling you anything you don't already know. You will also most likely need a right angle drill, some good sharp bits, ez outs, hammers, center punch, adjustable wrenches, pliers, ect. As they explore options, optical and mechanical engineers are forced to make choices and tradeoffs during the design process. Future plans include a balance job but for now I'll just have to hope this works. Now, what if you don't have or can't get a right angle drill, now what? May then try the 6B damper just as an experiment to see if there's further improvement.
The camshaft position sensor bolts should be torqued to 15 foot-pounds in the 5. Besides, I may end up cutting one down to fit in that hole better. If you wish to perform engine maintenance or tune-ups on your Cummins diesel, it is important that the parts be installed to factory-specific settings. So, the vibration is tolerable and I can get used to that, but part of my concern was in the possibility of metals fatigue or fastener failure with all that shaking going on. The advantage we have on stock is with the rotating weight: since the inner inertia ring is non-bonded and freely rotates in a thin layer of silicone — about the thickness of two business cards — its full weight is not resting on the crank once it begins spinning at rpm. I would have to question the effectiveness of a balancer engineered for a inline 6 on a 4 though. I am enjoying the new damper, and now I am able to focus more on getting my truck ready for the next level.
If soft engine mounts are to be used then they should have sufficient hysterisis to prevent build up and radius arms should be used to reduce torque reaction. Our 2500 had an aftermarket air intake kit from , which we removed to allow for access to the fan shroud brackets. Dave Edited November 10, 2013 by Fishin2Deep4U In the previous photo you can see that I am simply holding it in place while I put the center in. Thanks for taking the time. If the worst frequency is 2X rpm very likely with big 4s then engine balancing which only effects primary or 1X won't do much. The fuel tank mounting nuts need to be tightened to 30 ft.
The injection pump mounting bolts need to be tightened to 32 ft. All of the nuts, screws, bolts and parts need to be torqued to specific amounts, or else leaking or cracking could occur in vital areas. But, it may be tough getting one soon. Now I know what you are thinking, why use an old bolt and not a tap or bottoming tap. Aftermath At the time of this writing, the Fluidampr harmonic balancer has been in the Dodge Ram for several weeks. The other is reciprocating mass.
If I can get the threaded portion to move in, I can chase the threaded portion in the front and spin it right out. The shrill howl of a Merlin at speed is without doubt one of the most fantastic sounds, I'm getting goose bumps as I write this. On the fan assembly, I remove the 3 bolts that can get to with a socket. The hub has a single crack. Dave Okay, got some pics for you guys. And the final thing is that I am missing 3 of 4 of the fastening bolts.
The threads were very clean and now dry as well. Engines go through three types of vibration: torsional, axial, and rotational. This force imparts a torsion or twist into the crank. In its early life, the company provided large-displacement motors for heavy farm and construction equipment. And I ran the bolts down with the air ratchet until snug.
I am hoping it will clear the lower cross member. The fuel filter brackets hold the fuel filter canister into place with two bolts, which should both be torqued to 18 foot-pounds. I have a few years with a Cummins and I haven't seen any balance problems! Besides, I may end up cutting one down to fit in that hole better. But I know better than that. This water is deeper than I thought! I'd like to find a gel-rubber type isolator but there are some fitment problems there regarding frame and engine width interference. Everything else is reverse of removal.
The intake manifold air heater relay bolts should be tightened to 40 inch-pounds. I live up in the sticks so about the most hi-tech stuff around is the town's 2 traffic lights. Dave Had a similar situation with busted exhaust manifold bolts on my 1970 F600. This allows for penetrating fluid to enter from the rear and stay in a well. Well, you could remove the intercooler and bumper. The fuel filter drain valve mounting screws need only 30 to 40 inch-pounds of torque. Dave Well, planned on getting the truck fixed tonight.
The engine coolant temperature sensor retaining bolt should be torqued to 10 ft. Also, loosen the wiring harness attached tot he top of the radiator. Think blowing a kids nose here. Hard to beat in many respects. You could easily use a common plumbing part with the proper bit or even whittle one from a wood dowel. I will research to see if either engine is balanced either externally or internally. A company I previously worked for tried to get one to compare against the non-balanced version and it was something like 1000 usd and a 9 month wait straight from Cummins.
At speed, its rotating weight would be right in line with that of the stock balancer, while also being stronger and better at dissipating heat. For what all it can do as-is I can't see it being worth the resources to bother stroking it. It shouldn't take rocket science to adapt one, and if it does I can always ask here on this forum ha haha! So now that you have a spot to work in, here is how I got the job done. Remove the top radiator hose. On another we fatiqued off the motor mount.
