    BEB paranoia...

    So what you're saying is some trucks had the wrong size bearings in from the factory? Couldn't disagree more. The well documented BEB problem has got NOTHING to do with wrong size bearings and EVERYTHING to do with breakdown of the bearing material. The later FT models are not immune either. I...

    Disconnecting EGR on 1HD-FT

    Just replace the gaskets between the valves and the intake air pipe with some 'solid' gaskets cut from thin sheet steel. With a bit more work you can remove the valves altogether and blank off the exhaust manifold and the air pipe with some blanking plates made from thicker material, say 5mm...

    Lc 80 - 1hdt

    Most diesel engines (even relatively new ones) will have some oil in the inlet tract from the engine breather which will increase with wear due to excessive blow-by. Not sure how it's getting to your air filter though. Doesn't the breather pipe connect to the air intake downstream of the filter...

    Anyone runing additives in their fuel?

    IMO there's going to be all sorts of crap in WMO including very fine metallic particles which you will never remove no matter how good your system of cleaning/filtration. Personally I wouldn't want it anywhere near my fuel tank.

    Anyone runing additives in their fuel?

    This stuff by any chance? Liqui Moly Diesel Purge 1Litre ( Complete system Clean) | eBay UK I used it and it cleared up some light smoke I was getting from the 1HD-FT.

    1HD-T engine with low oil pressure: Questions

    Minimum OP specs for the 1HD-T and FT engines is 4.3 psi @ 600rpm and 36psi @ 3000rpm, not 2000 so your figures are just about in spec. As has been said BEB's have little effect on OP. A relatively good OP when cold which falls away drastically when hot can be caused by worn main bearings and/or...

    Intake Air Heater

    Exactly the same setup as used on the earlier 80 series. Mine starts fine without the heater down to -10c but the warm air provided by the heater gives a more complete combustion when the engine is cold preventing exccesive bore wetting and oil dilution and so is beneficial for extended engine life.

    Intake Air Heater

    If you can find someone breaking a late 1HD-FT powered 80 they have an intake air heater which replaced the glowplugs on the earlier 1HD-T. Unlike the 24v starter it runs on 12v and pulls around 40-45amps.

    HDJ80: question about fuel heater on diesel filter support

    As mentioned above the heater resistance should be measured with a vacuum of 350+/-50mm/hg applied to the vacuum port and the resistance should be 0.5 to 2ohms @ 20deg C.

    Who's running fuel lubricant?

    What about using a small quantity of 2 stroke oil in every fill up as I've seen mentioned on here and other forums? Some of the better quality 2 stroke oils are designed to work in very high dilutions in petrol engines with excellent film strength and lubrication characteristics so should...

    Dual Battery Questions

    X 2. The fitting of unequal capacity batteries is not to be recommended but will not cause the problems you have encountered. It simply means that the extra capacity of the bigger battery will be wasted as you can only draw what the smaller battery can deliver when used on a full 24v system.

    Opinions on this choice of engine oil

    I use semi-synth oil, no particular brand. It just depends what's on offer locally. I've just switched from a 10/40 over winter to a 15/40. I understand what the numbers mean ie: cold and hot viscosity but what I have found from experience is that a 15/40 will ALWAYS hold a higher OP than a...

    Remove Grill Support

    If it's the same as the HDJ80 the bracket bolts to the bottom of the bonnett lock? Most intercooler kits seem to require the removal of this bracket so I guess removing it shouldn't cause any issues.

    3" Exhaust for HDJ80

    I agree. The effect of 'ram air' as it is widely known has been used on high performance motorcycles for years. On a typical,relatively highly tuned, 1000cc bike engine this effect has been shown to add as much as 8-10bhp at 150mph simply by 'pressurising' the airbox with cold (ambient temp)...

    longevity

    Many of the DD buses manufactured from the 60's through to the early 80's used Gardner engines. Gardner stopped producing diesels for road vehicles in the early 90's but continued to (and still do I believe) buld marine and locomotive diesels. Many years ago an ex neighbour of ours worked as a...
