Replacing the injection pump in the 6.3 required some crows foot spanners to remove the injection lines, they also proved useful for the flare fittings on the pump http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll32/abl567/DSC00290.jpg These are the penultimate tool for working on a 6.3, the ultimate is...

I had to deliver a few bottles of cold bubbly to Karen on Friday, she was at an industry golf day, I snuck a couple of pics on this gravel drive. The one pic I regret missing was my 6.3 in front of goverment house in Sydney, my father was awarded a OAM and we all went to the presentation in...

What a 6.3 can do to new Michelins on a rough concrete driveway, starting in 2nd:cool: I'm thinking that new pump is a good one:D

I took a day off work today to try and tune the new injection pump in the 6.3 and hopefully get it running right. Before I installed the pump I set the idle mixture thumb screw to as close to the middle of the range I could, I did this by turning it all the way one way then all the way back the...

After the Fox collection most jumped on a tram and had a look around Melbourne, Karen and I wandered up to Flinders St and had lunch at a pub:D That night we were let loose at M-B headquaters in Melbourne. Gullwing, thats me drooling in the first pic:o Pair of Maybach 280SE 3.5 Cab...

Hi Styria, Yes I set the crankshaft to 60 degrees ATDC at cylinder 1, both are critical to correct pump timing. The regulator linkage is set up by adjusting the length of the rods connecting the main throttle arm to the throttle body and injection pump levers. The pump has a position indicator...

I installed the spare pump today after making new gaskets and sealing with Locktite 518, great stuff. The pump went into place easily enough However it was not lined up right A few more contortions and twists and it all lined up and slide home now to set up the regulator linkage

Just before the M100 rally the fuel injection pump on my 6.3 started to leak internally and overfill the govenor part of the pump, this results in rich running and oil running out of the pump filler tube into the valley of the engine and then onto the driveway or the hot exhaust when you plant...

Styria, do you really think I'd let anyone drag me out of a pub full of leadfoot 6.3 drivers:) Thank god for laptop computers and mobile broadband and pour me another pint:D Des, only one car broke down, 3 times, the owner was able to get going again every time. I'll let each tell their own...

As the rally is no longer news, an event or anouncement I will start a new thread here and and bore you all silly with where we went, what we saw how we got there. I have posted before about the fun we had almost missing the train to Adelaide on the first day so I'll gloss over it, never mind...

Thanks for the title idea Des:D I've been steadily preparing my 6.3 for the M-100 Rally in September, we are driving back from Adelaide after transporting the cars, and ourselves in a first class cabin :), on the train from Sydney. My first priority was to try and improve my fuel economy so I...

The story starts again I'll deliver my car on Saturday for the diff repair, they intend to adjust the pinion bearing to eliminate the noise, any thoughts on the possible outcome? I'm going to have them replace my flex disc at the same time, I have the part here and figure that this makes both...
