Jwebb1981 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 My boss wants me to remove the head to see if I can find the bolt. This is my frist time ever removeing any head from a motor. Any advice will be great, and do you think that I will even find it. Is there anyway of getting this paid by warrenty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want to know where the bolt is if at all possible before starting this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasman Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I would try a telescoping magnet first. Go fishing. Worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGM Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Dude, I wouldnt be pulling the head..... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif I dont see how it would have worked down into the pan, everything would have to be just right, theres not that much room...Did you remove the oil rail and look really closely like the others suggested? How about pulling the glow plug harness to look in there from another angle? Are you sure it went in the head, not outside? If the answers are all yes, then you can pull the pans off in the truck in less than an hour.. DONT leave it in the pan... Even if its too large to fit in the pick-up it may damage the screen or worse yet the CKP trigger wheel, you dont want to chase that... KISS is the method you need to use, you're frustrated and threatened right now, you may have missed it... Good luck, but reserve the head for the last resort..

Jwebb1981 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Sorry too late the head is off and there is no bolt inside the head went fishing again and could not find anything, so looks like now i get to pull the oil pan. That what I wanted to do in the frist place, but I have to do what my boss says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Did you think to check the two "storage areas" that Navistar supplied on the engine? There's a little hollow at the back of the right side cylinder heads that likes to collect small stuff (obviously not in your case) and the little shelf in behind the starter.....

Jwebb1981 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I haven't checked the starter area yet. I will do that right now. But I have been all over the head and it is not there. Next stop in the oil pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
