    Real Time 3B oil pressure question....

    Hi. When I did a minor rebuild of my 3B I lost prime on the oil pump. Did not matter how much I turned the engine over the pump would not pull oil from the oil pan. My fix was to take a 2' piece of 2" plastic plumbing pipe. The bottom was capped then drilled and tapped to accept a hose barb...

    Injector fitting size?

    I believe it is the same connection as on the Benz diesels. Look at the pop tester at mercedessource.com. Around $189 us.I bought their brake bleeder set up. Great product and good retailer. If you still want to make your own pop tester get a connection pipe from a vw diesel. Hansautoparts.com...

    Wanted bj60 radiator

    I have one that was pressure tested and cleaned up at a rad shop. Decided to no use it after going to an intercooler setup using a 40 series rad and volvo intercooler. I travel the QEW between Burlington and Toronto a lot. If we meet at a Tim's you can buy me a coffee for the rad. Are you a...

    Rebuiding a 3B for more power

    Yes if I could find a JDM rotary IP for my 3B, at a reasonable, cost I would use it. As I understand it here are a few advantages of the Bosch design rotary IP. 1) You eliminate the butterfly valve. Diesel fuel likes to have lots of air for complete combustion. How about some custom intake...

    Rebuiding a 3B for more power

    How about a high performance Injection Pump? I am in the process of reassembling my BJ60 after a body off restoration. As for the engine I will be using a Volvo intercooler with the AXT Turbo kit. I think a place to look for more power and fuel economy will be to replace the injection pump. I...

    Real time HELP! - BJ74 no fuel even when priming.

    I had the same problem when I rebuild my lift pump. The fuel drains back to the tank and the primer is not powerful enough to draw from the tank to the lift pump. A new Bosch primer pump was installed. My low tech solution was to pull the fuel line off of the lift pump and suck on it with my...

    Which would you buy, a BJ60 or a HJ60?

    My vote is for the 3B I have owned an HJ60. One thing to consider is the cost of oil changes for the HJ. IIRC the 2H engine require 10 liters of oil and the oil filters were about $24 each. I had difficulty finding after market filters. Bought them from the dealer. My 3B uses a common filter...

    Surging Idle

    High Idle Hi My 1989 with 22RE had a high idle condition that was very difficult to solve. The solution was the replacement of the auxilary air valve ( I think thats what the dealer calls it). It is located under the throttle body and has two coolant hoses going to it. It bolts to the throttle...

    HJ60 Starting weirdness, battery? starter? relay?

    Solenoid contcts Hi Going back to your first post when the engine started and ran really rough. I had the same thing happen with my BJ70. The starter keeps trying to start the engine even after you turn the key to the run position. When I turned the key to the off position the engine kept...
