HI Marshall
a recommendation : have a look at this ECU Spitronics - Engine Control Unit
it is what I am going to use and it is a superior system. You will have the advantage of the exchange rate in your favour making this ECU about $250 for something that you will be paying more than $1000...
This thread has made my day . I am in the process of converting to 2F-E . Since I live in South Africa it is extremely difficult to import the necessary parts for the conversion from North America. ( still cannot get a cowl harness but have a pretty decent engine harness ) Lately it is getting...
My cap says 1.1 ( Bar ) . That is 16psi .
The coolant according to the temp guage in console runs slightly hot but I do not trust that to be an accurate reading . Coolant and oil is clear . Compression test is good on all cylinders
Newly rebuilt 2F with what appears to be high radiator pressure .
Diagnosis made by feeling top water pipe when hot - pipe feels very hard pressurised when engine running .
It could be normal .( but I am concerned that it may be a symptom of head gasket not sealing properly .)
Slight water...
The 250S grind is a very mild grind and according to Delta should not require more spring .
I fitted SBC springs ( VS 677 ) to replace the old tired springs - they rate at only 10lbs seat pressure more than stock and will not bind . They did the job for me in getting the valvetrain quiet -...
The guys at Delta advised to close the intake by 0.004" and see what happens - I set it up to stock specs .
His exact message : ( I asked whether new valve springs were required or If lash needed adjusting )
The new grind is a little more aggressive but nothing that requires more spring. try...
According to "lehiguy" the Man-a-fre lifters are crap . They have a tendency to mushroom .
Due to his advise I used stock lifters ( had them ground before fitting them ) when I fitted my new camshaft ( I used a Delta grind ) .
Will be interesting to see what Compcams have to say.
Same issue here
Just stumbled on this thread :eek:
I just finished my 2F rebuild ( https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/399712-another-2f-rebuild.html ) - with Delta 250S camshaft .
The valvetrain was very noisy when the engine fired up . So first I closed the intake valve lash from...
2F Stock and 250S grind specs mentioned above

MC803 duration @.050 int. 189, exh. 189
Valve lift .379int. .379exh.
Lobe centers 112deg. int. 112deg exh.
So the main difference between Melling MC803 and Stock is th difference of...
No answer to my question on the 60 series side - anybody here that can help ?
( heading should read KC859-250s )
This is for my 2F rebuild currently being done
I could not find a suitable secondhand camshaft to act as a donor , so I bought a Melling MC803 camshaft to send to Delta .
( my...

It clearly shows the tight clearance between the conrod bolts and the cam .
Do you have to cut the bolts on both sides or will it be OK just to do the 6 bolts that are near the camshaft ?
