Any word if you can get the over sized pistons?
That sucks. I guess its a common problem?
You still have the washers to go under the head bolts?Did u lap the valves?
Yes I do still have the washers to go under the head bolts. I just put the bolts in their holes for storage. I didn't lap the valves because I checked them with Prussian blue and they were very good as they came. Those are the old glow plugs and caps in there too. I need to change them out also.
Here is my bolt management seystem.
What did you do, take a pic, blow it up, and print it, what a smart idea
Did you get the pistons?
So they are doing a rough bore right now to get rid of any pits. Then he will tell me where the cylinders are at. I'll then order the Pistons and once he has them in-hand, he will do a finish bore with proper oil clearances. They are also going to deck and hot tank it.
I heard from the machine shop today. Cylinder number 3 is beyond what the maximum oversized Pistons could cover. He said normally he would just sleeve it and be done with it but his tool for sleeving is broken and he thought it would be fixed and back to him a month ago. So I need to find a machine shop nearby that will sleeve cylinders.
I would ask him who he would recomend! Finding another shop can be hard!
Look for tractor service shops. Most all tractor engine shops can re sleeve. Also big truck shops like peterbilt and international might be able to help you in the right direction.
how about this place http://www.powermachineservice.com/
