Gavla Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Hi, Can anyone help me...I've started to restore my Karrier WO6 and I have started to re-build the engine, butI have no manual for Dorman engine. Could anyone shed some light on the value clearances? The head number is 16212 with an engine number of 20702 (1929) Also, the head is painted black...is this correct? The rest of the engine is in it's bear aluminum, although when cleaning the engine I have found, under the grime, a sage green paint on the aluminum. Should it be painted this green or left in it's bear form? Cheers Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Is it a Dorman 4JO engine? Can you post a photo of it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavla Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Here are the pics of the engine as promised - somewhat late!! Probs with downloading photos from my phone to the computer!! The gold looking paint on the aluminum is actually the sage green colour. P.s. I can send more pics if required. Many thanks Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks for posting. I cant help you with a manual for that. Lots of Dorman manuals do turn up on E pay though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfire Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 How did you get on with this engine? Our museum may be getting its hands on a 4JU soon, which may need some attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe my granddad sold it in the late 90s. He pasted away this year and clearing out his stuff we found these photos.
