Up until recently, I had two heaters: a defrost unit and a fairly large Cat heater under the passenger seat. Worked excellent with the gas motor. Awful with the multifuel (same water temperature). The multi has a water pump much smaller than the gas engine and, near as I can tell, wasn't able...
Your post is a little confusing. The LD/LDT/LDS465-1 had two-hole while the LDS465-1A and LDS465-2 both had one-hole injectors (per TM9-2910-226-34 dated 1974). Seems a little odd that this TM doesn't require that the one-hole injectors should be replaced with the two-hole. Is the LDS...
There is no "turbo" pressure regulator. The housing on the left side of the block has a relief valve that opens at 40 psi (dumping excess pressure back into the pan) and a valve that opens at 15 psi minimum for the piston cooling nozzles. The turbo is fed off of the same system as the engine...

The R6602 came first; not the multifuel. Both had two heads. The multi has an obvious lineage with the preceding gas and diesel engines but it was clearly a new and more robust design.
Here is some interesting info on the valve timing:
LDS427-2 (from TM9-2815-204-35, dated 1964)
Intake opens at 6° BTDC
Intake closes 30° ABDC
Intake remains open 216°
Exhaust opens 36° BBDC
Exhaust closes 2° ATDC
Exhaust remains open 218°

I have no idea what pistons that you have in your engine; this you will have to figure out. However, the tractor and multifuel pistons are interchangeable because both have the same combustion chamber design. It is common for farmers to install the high compression pistons in their tractors to...
If the compression pressure is consistent across the board, it points to the same problem/ cause in each cylinder. Not likely to have a crack in EACH hole/ head. Also seems unlikely to have a head gasket sealing issue in EACH hole/ head. Seems most likely a systemic part issue or assembly...
17:1 is the tractor compression ratio. However, this wouldn't 't explain the blow-by. A cracked head wouldn't explain the consistent low compression pressure. Are you guys even reading his posts?
Looks like M-Series Rebuild also offers an oil seal mod: http://www.mseriesrebuild.com/photo_gallery2.htm Looks like they maybe epoxied something to retain the seal????
I have a few of the "new style" head gaskets (Victor 5818 ) purchased from a SS member with those same instructions. However, White/ AGCO sold those same exact head gaskets with clear instructions in their service manual that the head MUST be retorqued.
Hi Rusty,
Continental only licensed the "M" combustion chamber; the balance of the engine is all Continental design. If you compare it to Continental's other engines such as the R6602, you will see that it shares MANY features.
I have one of the new heads on the shelf and the shield emblem...
Rusty, After reading the manual for the Vanner and Cooper systems: both are designed for powering external 12V loads. I'd say that your Vanner rep was confused.
I get what you are saying about increased load, higher heat, etc. However, Vanner claims a load current rating in the 60-100A range. If you can't run even modest tens of amp loads without catastrophe, it sounds like a poorly engineered converter or wildly exaggerated capability.
