My 1700 has moved to the NS section. After the installation of the gold plated pistons and rings, new rod brngs, and valve job on the cyl head it smokes no more!!!! I know the pistons are gold plated-- my wallet told me!
It cranks right up and once the cyls get warm it does not smoke at all. It did look like I was spraying for mosquitoes. After shut down if you let it sit for approx 30 mins it fires up with no glow-plug usage. I also picked up an IT manual and an upright muffler to replace the pos that someone had installed earlier. I also found aftermarket numbers for the oil press switch and oil filter. I may install a buzzer for the oil press switch, since I have a habit of leaving the key on after shutting it off. I'm not used to a manual shut off. The buzzer would also alert if the oil press dropped while running. I took photos of the assembly since JC asked.I will try to get them posted. I have about 30 photos if anyone wants them-- too much for here. It is a very easy job to tackle. Takes about 1.5 hrs to tear it apart. Thanks for all the help, hope I can return the favor. I just thought of something to add- mine has an aftermarket alternator on it from Adv or AZ on it just in case someone needs to replace one without going to NH.
