Could be any of these really: faulty oil sender, broken spring, worn oil pump, worn bearings overall, oil is too thin, oil level too low or pickup screen is partially clogged. Mine does it too here and there but I don't worry too much, it just means your oil is taking a few moments to get up to oper...

I've got it figured out! Turns out having your crank 180 degrees away from where it should be causes all sorts of problems (jeez what an amateur hey? ). Anyways got it timed (double and triple checked). Will be starting tomorrow evening!

Well, upon further inspection my timing was way off... thankfully nowhere near hitting the valves though... my upper two marks are aligned fine, but upon aligning my crankshaft it encounters resistance one tooth before TDC. I don't want to force anything.. how should I proceed?

Sorry for the triple post: I'm going to try priming the IP system as soon as I get home. I was thinking if the pump sprocket rotated 360 degrees independent of the camshaft, isn't it possible that the fuel was pumped into the fuel return line, while drawing air in from somewhere around the filter dr...

Have you got photos? I'm not too familiar with the fuel system yet..

I did both belts, water pump, and thermostat. I believe I've found my issue: the marks on the camshaft and IP sprockets line up perfectly, but it appears the mark on the crank pulley lines up to the 10 on the cover rather than the T. The engine doesn't cough or smoke at all when cranking!

Hi everyone, I just got finished installing my new T belt and other bits, everything is reinstalled - but the engine won't fire, it simply cranks. I know the obvious answer is the timing is off (tear it down again, bleh), but if none of the sprockets moved during installation how can that be? (Save ...

I too am looking for info on the rear brakes! The front are fairly straightforward as brakes go, but I've never replaced shoes. Will report back if I find something/attempt it myself

Hi there dbe! I've left my project for a couple months due to some more pressing matters... I am heading to the electric store today and will be picking up fusible link wire. Does your bus run and everything still, just with no electrics? What about the light behind the gear indicator on the dash? I...

Ah, I thought so!

I'm a little confused about replacing the fusible link. Does it matter that the replacement is 8in long? Would I be trimming it to fit? Are they an order-only item?

UPDATE: I checked out my battery compartment today. I didn't have time to load test them, but with the engine running I'm getting 14.17V, so I'm assuming the alternator is good still. HOWEVER, I decided to investigate the main four plug fusible link coming off the batteries, and for the first time ...

I recall you had trouble starting in the cold recently, I presume you've had the battery tested/confirmed it's in good condition/replaced the battery? Thanks Growler! I'll try those first. The batteries are apparently in good condition, but I'm not sure how much faith I have in them, with the start...

That's him!
Thanks very much!!

By the way, I'm in Regina, Saskatchewan, a province west of Manitoba, if you're ever in the vicinity give me a shout!
