M T f U! I'll do it myself.

Ok i’ll double check my units pretty small it’s only for a 471. I just have the red cone filter and then the other little filter that sits on top of the Black plastic check valve which goes down to the coffee can on the side of the block.

You can see both filters in my first or second photo.
Then on top of the airship housing where the red cone filter meets the base there’s a spring loaded Little plastic Restriction indicator , it will pop up into the clogged position.

I will double check it for any other filters and the Airsep papers.

IMO, nope. Mine are 1994 or so vintage , and are like new. All parts are still around. Keep the filters clean and re-oil every year. Keep an eye on the hoses for any holes from rubbing against the engine(like mine) ,loose clamps etc. Make sure the 1/2'' drain , hose and check valve are clear and working every so often.

I post some info I have on mine shortly.

Here is what I’ve got;

CR ! Thanks for sending this. Was going to clean the inside of mine......Now I won't. Fine with me.

Anyway, had a great day today with my new buddy ,Mr. Retired marine J & T guy. Both number one and two cylinders/rings are not in good shape. Number three and four were clean and shiny as compared to one and two. Time for an overhaul, which I figured , but wanted to be really sure. I'm not planning a major over haul, but an overhaul of the cylinder liners, pistons, rings and maybe main bearing after we remove one and look that over, they might be ok.

I had a list of questions for him which we went over, one by one, while looking over the motor and parts first hand. He is very knowledgeable . It was a really great way for me to learn and understand. Plus he is in my lane $$ wise.
Gent had on a ''RPM detroit diesel'' mechanic tee shirt, FYI, he said he worked there years ago too. Some of you Fla. folks know of that place.

He is coming back in a week or two when I'm ready to pull the head and raise the engine. Fingers crossed , with his help, I think I'll get this done...properly.

No. Joe

More stuff removed from the engine. I’m getting there. Only stepped on my shaft zincs twice while lifting the cast iron heat exchanger tank off the engine and out into the truck. Heavy…

H/E tank , intercooler, turbo oil cooler.

My heat exchanger tank drawing Johnson and towers used both on 471s and 671s. FYI for those who may need it.

Let’s celebrate! I bought my first part towards the engine overhaul!
A $10 hose for the cooling water heat exchanger tank to water manifold connection. I’m practically done the project!

I had to get it loose to remove the two bolts that protrude into the head just a little bit and it’s also leaking on one side so I decided just to take the whole thing off bring it home and re-gasket and reseal every fitting on the tank and then paint it.

I can live with Earl, but not water.
Tank and fittings were getting ugly.

An Earl leak or two is good . That’s Detroit sweat ! I like to know they are working hard for me!

Hey man …., can I have a raise .
Sure stand on that engine and up you go!

Getting closer..
