International ACCO Crew Cab - for the ACCO Lovers

There were US built and Aussie built versions of the V392 Rod, yours is probably a Geelong engine but I dont know how to tell them apart.

different water jacket holes from memory ..the head gaskets dont match up ..i was told the later design was
"canadian" with the "improved" cooling water jackets

Interestingly, in the AB-series manual, there's not a mention of the 392 (although the 345 is listed and full specs/repair info supplied) .. yet the C-line manual shows two columns - "V-345" & "V-391" (?).
However, the "V-391" column is blank? What was the V-391?
AFAIK, the C-lines most definitely had the 392, yet the C-line manual only lists specs and repair info, for the 345?
I can recall the IH trucks still had the 392 option up until the late 1970's, yet I can't recall when they were introduced.

I was able to buy a Service Manual for the ACCO-C Chassis (Form CTSA 2300) and it does give Engine Tune-Up Specifications for the V-345, V-345A and V-392

I think the V392 first came to Australia for the C line and the "short door" ACCO, maybe 66 or 67. It was probably around in the states much earlier but never heard of the V391.

HeyCharger - could you put up copies of the tune data for the 345's, please? - I've got 2 1978 D series- with the bl__dy emissions-control. I have a parts-book for D-series if people need help.

Sorry Peter, would you still like a copy. I will see if I can scan it.

ALSO. Just trying to time my engine (392) and I note that it has TWO identical timing marks on the pulley (180 deg apart). Why and which one is the real one? Rod.

if u're not sure

Lift roker cover
get the # 1 cylinder piss tin TDC (remove S/plug , use screw driver down hole n gently turn motor over by hand)
with the valves in the closed position
n the time n mark should B the one closest to the arrow doodadd


other ways check where rotor cap in distributor is point n when it points to #1 the time n mark closest the pin is the one to work with

(unless it haz all been scrambled)
