Open will have 4 spider bores, GOV Lock 3 bores. .

Open diff .

Little different with the 14 bolt 10.5" the exploder wheel is internal (Les is probably right G80 GOV LOCK)

Open diff. You'll need a gearset and some new bearings throughout. Your magnet has all kinds of swarf stuck to it. Gearsets are one unit. Not mix and match.

To the original poster, that's a tall order for a IDI diesel anything with a minus 50 temp. Go old school with a pan of charcoal under the oil pan and wrap the engine. Maybe. Cranking RPM is your friend. Hook a welder/genset to it?

^^Super helpful with dimensions and all. Nice. 👌

Burp the oil drain. Just hang onto the drain plug, screw it back in. That's where the swarf is.. (the stuff you need to test).

I chose to delete the CDR in favor of a modified road draft catch can. Link below. Post #15. It's an option. A little fab required. https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/cdr-routing-options.40117/#post-456065

Welcome Tim. What kind of work do you do out of that beast?

Starter bolts have a 'knurling' where they pass through the aluminum starter. Often a cylinder block will strip out. A garage fix here in the U.S. is to run a threading tap into the block. The closest size is a 7/16-14 tap-bolt. It will follow the stripped hole perfectly. Sometimes the starter...

This is a first for IDI Detroit 6.2-6.5 isn't it? CNC with a hand blend is the way. Nice work!

Agreed. Diesel fuel now is a blend of all the 'above' at best. Never know what you'll get. Centrifugal separation like the WVO method? (To get a purer petroleum product...?) After all this stuff at the gas stations is stored out of sight, out of mind. The best we can do is control the water.

But still it does not mix. Suspension ASSUMES the fuel is kept moving. Water and oil will always separate at rest. Water and oil cannot mix.

When in doubt, C4

Keep the water out and you've saved yourself from the witch's brew. Control the water. Adding lube will hurt the fuel system until you control the water. Water cannot, will not, mix with oil, petroleum, diesel, gas whatever. Basic chemistry.
