2 ton help

Our chapter has been asked to help a museum with some of their Cats. They have 6 Cat's, 4 of them ran last year. They have a 15 and a 2 ton that do not run. I just looking for some info about the 2 ton. I have never worked with them. Is there any special tools needed being it's an over head cam motor? Condition of the Cat's is unknown. We have a Saturday work party planned and want to make the most out of it as it's a 2 hour drive for most members. Thank you for any help given.

Hi Martin,

I'm no help on the 2 ton but wondered where the museum is? If I get out that way again I always like to have places like that to visit. We stopped in one last year in Swan River that was pretty neat. Thanks.

well this one is south of moos-jaw called the sunken ship. http://www.sukanenshipmuseum.ca/ but closer to swan river you will have to go by auston to the Manitoba agricultural museum. http://ag-museum.mb.ca/ i think they clam to be the buggiest in Canada. it home to Big roy the 8x8 versatile. but really if your ever up this way come by and see my junk. i got some hid in Manitoba as well as Saskatchewan

Hi Mog,
no special tools for the OHC engine--it is the simplest of designs--the 2 Ton Grey book has all the needed instructions for all parts of the machine.
Sprockets are about the only thing you may need a press/puller for as they are on a taper as is the F/Drive pinion flange.
I suggest you remove the valve lash adjust screws and face the ends so you can accurately adjust the lash--they usually wear off center and so the need for re-facing--I usually try and make the ends of the screws slightly convex and not flat to allow for misalignment due to wear in the rocker arm bearings--sometimes the ends of the valve stems cam get worn too--I have used a Dremel grind stone to even them up being careful to avoid metal/grind stone contamination.
There are no timing marks on the camshaft gear or the one below it--simply set No 1/4 on TDC and no 1 cam lobe facing straight down and it is timed.
Valve lash is Inlet book spec= 0.005" minimum--I adjust to 0.008" and Exhaust 0.008" min. --I adjust to 0.010"
Cheers,
