and now the new MEP1030 with the Kubota engine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr1ayc6_xeo

That is a amazing engine paint job, wish I had that attention to detail. The paint on mine has been fried in the Barstow sun and is very chalk like- Couple of questions. 1. How much are the LTT-TQG trailers worth? Im half tempted to sell mine, or put a wooden deck on it and keep it. 2. Wet...

Oh I hadn't seen that pict- wow were these used in Katrina or something? Wow! Lots of honeing and new rings for sure

The glows are in the manifold so don't pre heat with wd or starting fluid. What I would do is, add the oil as suggested above to seal the rings then start cranking and have someone spray wd after 10 seconds of cranking while still cranking. Sounds like your rings are rusted in place. Have a way...

I also don't think its compression related as I can here the compression stroke very clearly in that video- try to fire it off with wd40 mist I too am not a fan of starting fluid- its meth for diesels as they become addicted quickly. Keep a large rag handy just in case it decides to run away on...

Stuff some rings into it- I acquired a diesel VW golf years back that died due to loss of compression- bad rings and a ridged block. I was amazed that a simple backwoods re-ring and hone complexly solved the issue. I drove it for 60K and sold it for $2,500

Got most of it out, I filled it with a couple gallons of 10% ethanol unleaded and shook it around as much as I could. The most effective way was to suck it out with a syphon hose as the drain valve just didn't flow fast enough. Tank was bare empty I added fresh winterized diesel with 2 oz of 2...

Good point, I will make this todays project :)

I agree, I don't want to add un needed stress to the pump. It was a blowing sand storm when I picked up the unit so im sure that's who it got in there as they did trainings locally in those environments. Whatever diesel was in this unit was really oily and not the dry "light" ulsd used today. I...

before filling the tank I decided to pop out the strainer and take a gander, Sand is present in the bottom of the tank even after draining. Should I try to flush it out with diesel in a garden sprayer while tank drain is open or should I just leave it alone?

I noticed the same thing with GL, they didn't refresh the current high bidder- im darn glad I lost that bid. Removed my credit card from file after that. I won my 803A on iron planet aka govplanet and had a wonderful experience at pickup, they knew I was on the road for 15 hours and was just...

My dad is a Electrician (after retiring from the USAF F106 pilot) and I am a mechanic and we are both blown away at how neat this unit is- I love the fact that its ultra serviceable and my father loves the adjustments and gauges. After buying the wife a 2014 VW TDI and finding that it runs so...

Thanks for the info! Those links are priceless as I have been thumbing threw the manuals for filter numbers :)

Wow quite the week! won a rust free 803A on wed. It was located across the highway from the Yarma marine storage facility in Cali- 997 miles away. They said they would be available for pickup until 4pm Friday, luckily I already had Friday off for a hunting trip. Got off work at 6pm Thursday and...

I cant wait, if iv rebuilt a VW diesel with perfect success (and nailing the injection pump timing perfectly) I hope I can tackle one of these units :)

Glad I found this thread, I discovered the MEP series last month when a customer had a 802 in the back of his truck. So, I have bid a few times and been out bid extremely quickly even with 2K+ bid's on rusty 802's so im just going to sit back and low ball these auction sites until I nail one...

not bad at all, heck my vw TDI Passat warms ups at 1100F pre turbo 1 minute after startup.

Found a rusty 1994 libby 802a with 27 hours on it with a $1800 reserve and put a max bid of $2400 on it in the last 10 seconds, I was out bid before my page refreshed. Reality check received. Most states will not waive sales tax (no such thing in Oregon) and the 10% auction fee really sours the...

Great videos, It would be interesting to see what the EGT's of the manifold are when at 6kw with the 802- if ya have a ir thermometer laying around ;) The other thread with a broken piston is interesting-
