kdp
i took my motor down to almost nothing last night and guess what i found in the oil pan, the kdp, it was pretty managled up but didnt hurt anything on its way thru the gears, any one ever seen that happen before?
|
yeah sometimes you get lucky and it makes it out with out taking anything out
|
should i get a new one to replace it? also the plastic cover that is bolted over the tappet cover was broke in half, should i worry about finding a new one of those?
|
deffinitely get a new dowel pin n put it in. if ya dont, you could have problems with your timing slipping due to the whole gear case shifting
|
Your one lucky man!! The least damage ive seen is the dowel pin busted the cover and oil was everywhere. The bad side of it was, the guy was at pigon forge, TN and had to tow it back to VA. Roughly a 4 1/2 hour drive:scare2: But the worst ive seen is the whole engine was obliterated.
If nothing else, just make a pin and also make a shield for it and your troubles are done. |
i just took mine down last week and found the same thing. there is no visible sign on the gears either. it did break the gear housing though. good thing the gears are harder than the pin.:tu:
|
Simple to fix when open, so install it and make sure it stays put...
|
hey guys that kdp were is that located.should i check mine ?
|
front side of engine block, if you have the engine out definately take care of it. All you need is some way to keep it in place, you can use a tab of metal, I have seen people dimple the metal around it with a cold chisel...
If the engine is still in the truck it take alot to get to it. |
OH okay is it were the injector gears are and all that
