    What size freeze plugs are used in the LDT465 engine block? I bought 2 inch, but they are slightly too small. I tried Melling MPC-146B. update, I measured the OD of the old plug and its 2.126 inches

    The valve cover gaskets are dry, it’s definitely seeping between the head and block, but no apparent loss of compression.

    Radiator Side Shield Rubber Replacement

    How do you guys replace the rubber radiator side shields that are riveted in place? Drill out the rivets and then use small bolts? Or do you rivet the new ones in place?

    Injection pump compatibility

    I'm only interested in and LDS injection pump as I can pickup a few for a really good price locally, but don’t want to buy them if I can use them. I won’t be tuning mine for extra HP, just a cheap replacement IP.

    Injection pump compatibility

    Greetings, I checked my parts manual and it doesn’t show compatibility, but want to ask the group here. Is the LDS-465-2 injection pump 11641907 or LDS-465-1A 10951115 compatible with the LDT-465? If compatible I assume I would turn down the fuel and verify EGTs? thanks!

    Leaking Heater Core

    Well…. The radiator shop called and said he can’t fix either core, so I guess I’ll need to try one of those new cores out. I know the cores are pretty basic, but does anyone have a military radiator expert that may be able to work some magic on 2 heater cores?

    Leaking Heater Core

    Being in Florida, I’ve only used the heat once. I verified my NOS core is leaking so 2 cores to the rad shop tomorrow, then I’ll have a spare. Has anyone used the new heater cores I’ve seen online? They look slightly upgraded. Heater Core Upgraded?
