Sorry about the blog Ive been a bit bizzy , and its been a bit mad here , another two tractors in for hydraulics work
bent control valves and worn and bent top link censors
just a bit rusty
Its got a bend and twist I can see why the blokes gear kept hitting the deck
all add to the fun and puzzles of whats going on with these poor old things . right lets get you all up to speed on stuff , the diesel engine i was working on is OK but I'm not really happy with it , I tried to save the chap a bit of money against my judgement , I recommended new pistons , rings , and liners ,
I try to hone out the liners as much as i could , the main problem is with this is that new rings are a lot stronger and will not tolerate bores with the slightest oval in them , I did a compression test and they where well down , it runs but like i said I'm not happy with it , anyway a different story with the motor on charlie that's the one in red oxide its had a quick engine test it now fires up lovely , and has been converted back to petrol , higher compression better bang more power , this below is Charlies first test run its not very long but just long enough to make sure it runs and oil is
reaching the top of the motor
click the pic below
This time if you remember it seemed to be lack oil some what at the top
See what I mean
Now Ive just got to strip off the bits again and put it all back together , back soon,
