Hi
I'm a bit confused on the 3B Engine Repair manuals out there. Can anybody clarify this to me?
I have a 1985 BJ73 with the first gen 3B (I think): Rounded valve cover, linear IP and separate vakuum pump, oil filter bracket 180° upright filter.
Not sure the engine is original to my truck. I never checked by engine-#, though, as I don't know the systematics or any source to check.
- Does anybody know a way to check the year of make of my engine by engine #?
I never found a 3B engine manual for around 1985-87, which would go periode with my rig.
The earliest edition I know is from August 1988: B, 3B, 11B, 14B Engine Repair Manual
It is obviously for the 3B engines of generation 2, though, with the square valve cover, build-in vaccum pump and the VESP rotary IP.
Then there is a later edition from 1994 : B, 3B, 11B, 13B, 13B-T Engine Repair Manual
It is more elaborated than the 1988, but describes the linear IP only, thus appears to be for the 3B generation 1 (like my truck) again.
Apparently, this is a new edition of the (never found by me) 1985-87 and earlier edition to the generation 1 derivates of the B engine family?
Then a friend recently made me aware of a May 1995 edition: 3B, 14B, 15B-F, 15B-FT Engine Repair Manual
We found no source of a complete PDF or online version, just this classified ad for a paper book:
Maybe this is a new edition to the Aug-1988 manual, covering the generation 2 derivates of the B engine family?
- Does anybody have this in electronic format? We would love to read into it.
- Are my assumptions correct concerning what latest edition covers what generation derivat?
What we where actually looking for in the manuals:
- Does the 3B generation2 have the improved pistons with piston bottom cooling (similar 13BT), that would better hold up when turboing it?
(The 3B generation 1 is known to not like being turboed, as some sad cases in this forum suggest)
(Well, this is not about to start another general "3B & turbo" discussion here, though)
Appreciate any clarification
Cheers Ralf
