Looking for CAT guru ynot

Does anyone here have contact info for ynot (Tony) from tdg? I have an older cat that I'd like to have some pump work done to. Send me a pm with info thanks. @Diesel Dave you have spoken to him before right?

 

I have it, but it's been so long I can't find it. Home has most always been in the Des Moines area. If I come up with it I will PM you.

He can work on that with his eyes closed, you would be well pleased!!!

 

@spax sent you pm

 

I thought his waaay too advanced timing specs and antiquated cat turbo #s are somewhat debunked??

 

He worked mine over in 2010. Watching him work was like watching a robot. I swear he
could have walked up to that engine blind folded and never missed a beat.

The truck ran great, never a problem with water temp or exhaust temp. The truck had an 18 speed and 3.70. Going up any long grade, just grab a gear, watch that wonderful puff of black coal and let it settle into the pull.

That was the best truck I ever owned, much better than the yellow 550 6NZ in my avatar. Just my opinion.

 

To a point, there are much better choices for turbos, and as far as timing goes it is a bad idea to go advancing the timing a stupid amount on an engine with a retarded timing pump cam from the factory, but there are factory pump cams that are advanced a good bit, and with the right parts they work very well.

 

I think I happen to have one it'll work well for. I want to finally make my 4ck peec mechanical.

 

I received some info. I appreciate the responses everyone. I had spoken to him some via forum chat but it's been 7 years ago.

 

I will keep quiet, converting a PEEC is fairly easy, need a donor pump and advance, then it is just changing parts.

You put a lot of faith in someone that I know has taken one of my friends for a lot of money and the guy had to go back into his engine in less than 100K miles.

My suggestion is to gather the parts and do it yourself.

 

I was under the impression my pump could be used. At least the way he would do them. Same goes for the advance. I was just going to have my pump rebuilt in the process.
