We
have replaced the brakes and put the transmission cover back on. |
The
new head has all new valves in it. After we get installed on the
block we have new precombustion chambers to install in it. We bought
the new head from 2nd Steel in
Denver. |
The
reassembled pony engine with new rings and bearings. |
The
new liners and main bearings have been installed in the block. Our
cousin ground the crank for us and did a great job. None of the
bearings required any shimming. We bought most of the new engine
parts from Heavyquip. |
The
pistons, rods and rod bearings are installed along with the front cover
and oil pan. |
The
engine was getting very heavy, so we bought some new chains and lifting
eyes to make sure we have a good hold of the block as we install it. |
We
have the engine hung back on the transmission with the replacement bell
housing that we bought from Thill
Track & Tractor. |
We
installed the head and the precombustion chambers, and then the valve
train. Finally we got the valve cover and the oil filter housing installed
. Also the clutch has been reinstalled and the clutch cover installed. |
Here
is the old radiator core, and our new one from Costex
Tractor Parts. In the right picture is the oil cooler from
the cat before we cleaned it up. |
