Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2008 3:04 pm Post subject: Crankshaft pulley nut |
|
|
Hey,
I look in the TM 9-1804A for a torque specification on the crankshaft pulley nut, but it only said to "tighten the nut".
Any suggestions?
I also suggested to pre-oil the engine, but I don't have anything to pump oil into the galleys. Will it be OK to start it without pre-oiling?
Thanks _________________ Ryan Miller

The way I pre oiled my engine was to fill my oil pump with oil, then I turned the engine over with the starter until I got oil pressure. |

If you assembled with assembly lube or just well oiled as it should be when you put together pull spark plugs and ign wire to coil and spin her over until the gauge starts to flicker and raise off zero. Then replace plugs and wire to coil, start and full pressure should be near immediate. _________________ John GIBBINS

I used a crankshaft nut from a WWII Jeep so that I could use the WWII handcrank, that slips through that hole centered in the front bumper. Makes vlave adjustment and tune ups a snap. I have never tried to hand-crank the engine over to start it...althoughI am sure it would work. My M38 starts IMMEDIATLY every time. Only when it is stored over the winter and I want to fire it up in the spring do I have to use the fuel primer pump. _________________ 1950-M38, 1952-M38, 1964 M151A1, Mechanical Mule, 1945 CCKW,M100 trailer, M416 trailer. |

What i do is take the old oil pump, drive out the pin that holds on the gear drive from camshaft and remove the teeth by grinding or lathe. Clean the old pump well reassemble it, install the drive back on the pump. Then install the pump on the engine, then take along flathead screwdriver and cut off the handle and it will reach the pump through the distributor hole.Use a3/8 drill on the cut off end of the screwdriver to spin th pump. You can tun engine slowly while priming to lubricate top side of engine. The rocker shaft only gets oil 1 pulse per revolution of camshaft. You can also use a dist. shaft from an old dist . if you have one. Once you have pressure continue 1minute or 2 to fully lubricate everything. When finished remove priming pump install new pump. Make sure to prime new pump by hand before installing.I know this sounds like a lot of work, but it is worth it on these engines. |
