Well I got my heads cleaned for the most part. I took a photo of the one where the piston melted to it. I used my angle grinder with a course wire wheel. It took all the metal off after about forty min. I also used the grinder on the oil pan to clean the old gasket off. I sprayed my pan out with...

I got my heads back home today, after inspecting them I noticed the melted metal covers both valves and the injector. I also found another broken sleeve as I was pulling the old head gasket off. The ring at the top of the sleeve was broke and didn't notice it until it came up a little as I...

Also I didn't have no coolant in the oil. When she blew the head gasket and over heated, the lower radiator hose blew even though it did have a tear in it that I repaired with radiator tape but didn't hold to increase pressure. Also the coolant was entering the cylinder and was being burned. Im...

Ok then I won't use tp. I planned on using break clean. I didn't think about using the vasoline in the oil pump, i did plan on using it on the sleeve to easily install it from what I was told. My main concern is the metal chunks so I will be inspecting everything very well when I go to clean it...

Well I'm goin to go clean my parts tomorrow so I will inspect the valves and such. I will remove that injector as well so I can see if it needs replaced. I'm not worried about the exhaust manifold to much but I plan on cleaning it out, at least the turbo seems fine, no metal got that far when I...

I have pics where you can see the valves under the head, exhaust manifold, and top view withthe piston still in the engine.

What?! Thats it for new push rods?! I would definetly take a set of 12. Let me know where to send the money. 68801 is Grand Island, Nebraska. Not sure what shipping is but let me know. Sounds like a great deal. I can tell you the two times I bent my rods is when the truck overheated. When I...

Yes I have thought about that. My engine got so hot it stalled itself and locked up. I thought she was done for but a couple of days later, it turned over just fine. After I got the heads off I found the melted piston, hunks of metal melted to the head which I was able to scrape off. I was...

Ok that makes sense. I know some about motors but I'm still learning. Thanks I appreciate the tip. Thats probably why the same rod bent again cause I didn't have it set right. It probably didn't help when the piston melted, I'm sure with the adjustment being off, the valve met some resistance...

I know it sounds confusing but thats the best way I can explain it. I did it by the sync of the valvea and the sound of the motor. If that makes sense.

I will replace the rod after I get my parts and gaskets on there. When I bent a rod before and put the new one in, it didnt sound right. I shut the motor off, pull the rod out, turn the engine over a little, then replace the rod. I tried to eye the valvea to see if they were in sync with the...

I also wondered, because I had a bent push rod, and I know the timing is off for that cylinder, is there an easy way to fix it or just keep adjusting it over and over again until it sounds right? I did it before and it took me over an hour.

I feel good about what I've got done so far. I remember reading a thread where someone mentioned about TD on the block that it's worth fixing. I guess I didn't realize thats what it meant. Thanks, thats good to know.

You will probably laugh but. . . . I have to leave the motor in the truck because I dont have the equipment to pull it, and technically Im not suppose to work on vehicle at my rental home. So I got permission from the tow owner who towed my truck to his business yard, to work on it there. Plus I...

Sorry that was my bad, I use my phone and for some reason it posted twice. Im still learning this thing. I tried to see if I can delete the other post since there arent any pics on that one but I could not find that option.

As a side note: This was the first vehicle I have ever done with this much work involed so I am learning as I go. I have always done most of the work on my own vehicles except this kind. Car and truck motors seem to be more complicated and all that extra crap in the way and little room. I...

I have seen lots of threads about engine repair and what to do. I hope the info I provide will help anyone who may be doing the same. I have a M35A2 with the hercules multifuel. It has 59,000 miles and 2200 hours. After I made my 1100 mile trip from Michigan to Nebraska, she ran fine. The first...
