John. Diesels don’t have spark plugs. Doesn’t matter on the firing order because there’s no wires to go to the block and no distributor.

Lee,when I read that I thought good less to do , then Rick , Andy and then Dave shattered my illusions with talk about fuel lines. :smiling3::smiling3::smiling3: Should I put the covers on and forget the engine lol:tongue-out3:

Rick, Andy and Dave thank you for your knowledge on the engine, just look away when I come to detail it ! :smiling3:

Continued to glue the torsion bars together.

Marking then up with pencil on the face side.


Realised at the end I could have glued the length with the end fitted into the box section, by gluing the bar itself then fitting the cap . This would have left the end section to fully work. Oh well , not too bothered as its going to be set in a work shop.
Ends of the frame were easy enough

Rear end




Next came to frames, now many of you know how I struggle to get frames to remain flat and square, this time I can announce that it worked






Just one more for your edification .




The engine placement is tomorrow, seems a straight foreword fit. There's a couple of very small locating points on the torsion bar plates, good job I kept then in the right order !

Thanks for looking in, comments more than welcome.

Any one please have any photos of the engine or show me where they are so I can add the full pipes etc. Looked on the net and all I can see is loads of Trucks :cold-sweat:

Thanks

That's going by the "numbers" JR. :nerd: ...........can't help with engine detail shots...I suspect if you search 4 cyl. GMC engines it should come up in images....one would think:thinking:.....good hunting:thumb2: Rick H.

As I am sure you are aware it is a GMC 7-41 four cylinder, two stroke engine of 110 hp engine. Reading other peoples build blogs they have been unsuccessful in finding detailed photos of the engine. Hopefully our friends across the pond may be able to help
