Well you can also rebuild the Cummins one hole at a time. The only difference is when you pull the head you'll uncover two cylinders instead of just one on the Deutz.September 3rd, 2012.
Doghead, you are one mean moderator tonight. Me? I'd look at it positively...Time to get rid of that junk American diesel and put a good Deutz in it! If he picks one of the air cooled ones (Oh,wait, he's in Wisconsin, the AC diesels will start at -30, but provide no cab heat) so you can rebuild the pistons and cylinders one jug at at time, I guess the US engineers forgot that simple mechanical principle. Either way, he's gonna squeal like a pig when he gets done buying the parts.....!
If that's the case I'd pull be bearing caps before I went any further. If all that stuff went through the oil system you've probably got some bearing problems also. If you have any spun bearings or damaged crank, I'd find a replacement engine. It's going to cost more to fix that one than what you can find a replacement for.It's not too bad to replace a liner while in the truck. Just not sure if it's just a liner this time. Lots of metal in the pan and the oil filter was shreaded too. Crushed and sliced apart, never saw that before.
