I might want to do this right, what should the rotor be point to in order to lined up?

Put the distributor in and got the front piston top dead center on the compression stroke, the DC stamp on the flywheel is in line with the line on the engine block, the rotor is pointing towards the front spark plug hole, will that be ok?

Just read the old post from 2008 concerning timing the oil pump along with the distributor with a special gauge, the post : (Help Timing without the timing tool AM-450-T). My question is does the oil pump have to be timed or it won’t function properly? Or is it really just the distributor being time...

The head on the master pin on the 440ic is smooth, semi flat with rounded off corners similar to a pencil eraser, no dimple that I could see..

Haw haw haw! That was good! So how thick is the pin or pin hole?

Had a customer share with me about removing the master track pin says to use a spike hammer or punch out hammer, must be done with 2 people, they come in different sizes, 1 inch, .875 inch, 3/4 inch, what is the diameter size of the hole? I looked for the dimension but couldn’t find it, just want to...

I pre lubed with CRT Moley and graphite and I also used the Lucas Assy lube, some have been saying the same thing about the resistant in the TDC, just wanted to be sure, after those points it’s freedom of movement..

Hello everyone, been working on my dozer engine, 440ic, had the block fixed up, bored .090 oversized one cylinder, sleeve in the other, new pistons installed, crankshaft installed, cam shaft installed, then checked for binding when turning the crankshaft, there is a slight binding every 180 degrees,...

Yes sir, I purchased the SM 2023 immediately after I got humiliated by ya all for buying the Knock off el cheapo toilet paper,, Lol! Anyways the SM 2023 doesn’t go to great detail concerning the tolerance for the bracket guide, it pretty much says “if clearance appears excessive remove shims, after ...

Sounds like I might have to make a rubber padding for the bottom to absorb heavy vibration. What do you think?

How thick are the shims? I noticed it says .010 and my service book says 12 shims are needed, where do they go? Are they stacked up between the two idler brackets? Also how much play should they have?

I wanna know how YOU got the pictures on here, been trying for a while with no luck... lol

Was inspecting my 440 ic Dozer the other day and noticed a severe wear on the track frame under the guide just below the front track idler one both sides, it doesn’t look pretty, the top Along the frame is fine but under neath has a good wear, the past owners wasn’t paying attention to this obviousl...

I’m going 12 volt on my 440ic, changed the starter to 12 volt already, I’m needing to know what size 12 volt battery do I need to use, the battery base size on the dozer is 9” by 8” I know it was built for a 6 volt battery so hopefully I can get a battery to fit the base. Any ideas?!

Thanks Don

Been reading in the manual about “drain, flush, and refill” on the direction Reverser, hydraulic systems, transmission, final drives. Flushing is all new to me. Here are some questions:
1. How do you flush?
2. What are used?
