Hi Macca,
Looks good to me๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„........ and I like the precautions you take to keep various openings sealed up. The caps on the injectors pumps are standard 3/8" 37 deg (JIC)(9/16-18 thread) if any one is interested.
Also you can just make out the bellhousing location where the usual direct start would go and see that the raised boss does not exist on the 4G and it will not accommodate the direct start conversions.

Nice to know what the fitting is on the pumps. I might even get some caps for my service work next time. I've been shoving a fuel hose over a pump and clamping it, doing the same with other end of the hose. Like 1 & 3 in one hose and 2 & 4 in another short piece. It works, but not as well. And no class whatever!

G'day r4pat,

Haven't started the old girl yet, I had to make up a new bottom radiator pipe for it. After I made it and fitted it up, I filled all the oils in the pinion clutch, pilot motor, main engine and injection pump. I started to fill the radiator with water and it started to come out of the top radiator pipe where it joins on top of the water pump and back to the head, so I made up another gasket and refitted, tightened it up and one of the bolt holes that was repaired before that bolt onto the water pump broke again, ๐Ÿ˜  so off it came again and I brazed it up, waited for it to cool and bolted her back up again. Filled with water and now it leaks between the pony adn block.๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜  aargh I say. I thought that the seal between the pony and block was obselete so I ahd made up my own o-ring, but ckecked and they are still available through cat for $7.00.๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ˜  so hopefully this weekend she is watertight and I can start her up. I may even try to get a video onto YouTube๐Ÿ˜„

That is a thing of beauty to be sure. Excellent job! Ditto on the video with sound? Did you end up installing new liners and pistons in her?

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
