Thanks to Dane we have a new document for the site: 1986 Engine, Emission, and Related Systems - Truck. Basically it tells what changes were made to the 1986 engines and emissions systems over the 1985 systems. For instance, in '86 the front main seal on the 4.9L engine was installed in the timing cover from the front instead of from the inside. (See below for the rest of the document.)
Yes, I know we have a thread called
Minor Re-org - Input Requested but that didn't really address something like this. And when I look at the spreadsheet you'll find on the page at
Manuals & Literature I don't see a good place to put it.
So I'm looking for help. Can y'all suggest something? It is fair, and maybe good, to suggest a complete re-do on the organization.
