I have done the 1400km return trip to try fix my tractor. Unfortunately it took longer than expected and so I have to go back again. I absolutely battled to get the head off. I had to use a crowbar and chisels and screwdrivers . It took me about 4 hours. Why dont they just make the clearance holes bigger. Anyway the gasket blew between one and two. However cylinder sleeve three seems to be cracked. I have brought the engine home with me so I can fix it at my leisure.
I am worried about two of the studs. There seem to be hairline cracks in the block . One of them seem to run into the cylinder sleeve.I am hoping that if I put in a semi finished liner it will not matter.
What have you guys who have rebuilt your engines do to make working on your engines easier. I am referring to an engine stand of sorts. I am wondering how to handle this motor safely when it comes to turning it around to do the crank shaft bearings. Can a waterpump be rebuilt. My cam is badly damaged where the fuel pump runs. Can this be built up with weld and machined?
Does anyone know of a write up of a diesel 135 I am hoping not to have to surf the net if someone knows of a good writeup. What should I be replacing in a rebuild ?If my head and crank and valves are okay would it be foolish to not do the waterpump and oil pump. I really dont want to throw money away but at the same time I dont want to do something foolish. My flywheel has cracks in it but I suppose this isnt a car .Can injectors be re serviced by a diy or is this highly specialized
Is there a solvent that gets rid of coke build up for the pistons and valves etc.
thanks eugene
