Very good thoughts there. I agree no doubt. Bearings are no problem... not sure if the piston rings are the same as the White 2-135 Tractor engine though. If they were, I would be all set! It depends on the dates that are on the rings too maybe if i got NOS ones.... you think? I believe they...
That would be great, but its just going to be an in frame rebuild and i dont really have the time and money to put into it for all of that. I agree it helps any engine. That is one of the reasons I just limit the engine to 2300 RPM redline... no reason to push it harder. I also keep my engine...
I like your thinking. I did check the valves before I did the compression test. They were all within spec. Adjusting valves is inexpensive and the best bang for the buck to help keep an engine running strong.
I'll check the valve seats and guides to see how they look. If the guides are worn, I might get new guides and valves. I think seats are still available too. If everything feels tight, I will probably just lap the valves.
I should do a leak down test before I pull it apart too so I can see...
Well I did a compression test on the engine last night and got the following numbers:
#1 - 390 PSI
#2 - 290 PSI
#3 - 380 PSI
#4 - 320 PSI
#5 - 380 PSI
#6 - 360 PSI
I think #2 cylinder took a #2 (little joke there) because when I look at the blowby coming out of my slobber tube, you can see it...
I think i really need rings now. I came back from the Findlay Ohio Show and it just does not seem to be running that well. Decent amount of blow by coming out of the slobber tube in a series of puffs, similiar how it would be if one cylinder is not sealing properly (rings, cracked piston...
I recently took an old injector (shim style injector) and made it into a compression tester. I took the guts out of it, cut about 3/8 off the end of the nozzle (so it had a bigger hole), welded the high pressure line port shut and then will use the 1/8" NPT port to hook to the compression...
On the 900 series, right? My buddy and I went to an offroad park and after that, his was shifting down really hard. Before the trip, it shifted down a lot easier. He figured out his one cable was stuck a little and he lubed it up and didnt have an issue after that. I would try to make sure that...
It can be hard to pin point some of the problems I see people have with their trucks on here. I also run 15w-40 with lucas and I have about 65 PSI oil pressure at 2200. Idle is about 40.
Is your leak a fuel leak or an oil leak? Is it a wet stacking thing or an actual leak? I would clean the...
I lost a lunch betting somebody that that was not for the heater blower motor once. We didnt have the TM's at the time but I was surprised that they could pull off one of the batteries like that to get 12 volts.
If anybody is looking for a deuce starter, I have a original 24 volt one that works fantastic ($150) and a 12 volt starter for a deuce that tested good also ($150). I also have another deuce starter that was rebuilt but could use a new starter drive (it worked but would grind once in a great...
How much compression would the multifuel test at? I haven't seen anywhere that had the specs on what the compression test pressure should be or the leak down pressure in this thread or other ones I have searched.
Any updates on this blow by situation? I am thinking I need new rings in my deuce soon so I am trying to gather as much info as I can before start the job. Thank you.
I will. I will check for cracks on the pistons and the heads while I am there. There was also two different compression ratio pistons from what I have researched. I believe there was a 20:1 piston which was replaced by the 22:1 compression piston. I will have to double check mine to make sure...
Thank you for the information. So I would think the guides are still in good shape then, right? I would think with the little hours these engines have on them, I doubt anybody ever wore them out. A valve lapping couldn't hurt either.
While I have the heads off, I think I might lap the valves also. It couldn't hurt. I looked in the TM to see if there was any intake and exhaust seals... but it looks like there are not any? If the valve guides are worn, I might put new guides in the heads as well. Has anybody ever done that before?
