Broken down, toasted engine??

[daddysgirl]

This might sound a bit obvious, especially now (Bless your hearts)...but since this "learning experience" caused the engine to be removed, PLEASE do yourself a favor and check every inch of every engine harness.
Make sure the engine bay is spotless, repair any damage (bondo and fiberglass are wonderful...so is waterweld for small things).

The reason I am stating the obvious? In a bus of that age, any wiring is subject to weather...and mice. I have a 74 and deconstructed the TV stand in the bedroom to access both engine panels, to make and install a new harness for the 50DN. SO glad I did.

But the condition of the bay (painted a light color) can give you priceless clues in the future about your rebuilt setup, and there is nothing, save your current experience, more maddening than hunting for one bad wire.

Well wishes, and prayers you'll be hearing that beautiful 2 stroke sound soon.

Thanks for the update George glad it is finally coming to gather 2 months is a long time.I am going to give you some advice and that being while you are waiting on the fan parts with not knowing how many mile are on the alternator I would replace the bearing.
The manual calls for the alternator bearing to be replaced @100,000 miles.I know you want it done right and bearings are cheap insurance the gear driven alternator is a time bomb just waiting to go off.
When the guys install the alternator make them coat the gears with a marking compound like Ratech or Prussian Blue install the alternator with 2 bolts, bar the engine over a couple of rotations remove it and check the gear mesh to be on the safe side.If the wear is excessive you will need to replace the drive and the small alternator gear 
It is lot better to be safe than sorry Stewart and Stevenson or American is not going to be responsible for the alternator and the damage it can cause and believe me it can destroy a engine when it goes.I hate those things hanging on the back of a engine  

good luck        

The generator seems to be serviced by engine oil on the v71 is this same on the 92? Thus if that bearing goes

a screen might make good sense there!

Alternator on my fishbowl is non oiled and goes to the AC.
