Happy Monday folks!

Well dropping somthing down the sparkplug hole causes damage that is a bit painful. A 5 cent washer required cylinder head off, welding, machining and a lil bit of work to get it back to rights, but all done. The minor marks on the combustion chamber are not going to cause an issue so we have left them undisturbed. But all fixed and back to work this head goes.

Happy Thursday folks!

Well these new fangled variable compression valve setups sure are confusing! 🤣 In all seriousness however, this heavy diesel engine has dropped 2 exhaust valves unfortunately and then the pistons have closed those valves back up. Some in depth checks on yhe severity of the damage are required, and all going well, some new valve train components and machine work will get the cylinder head back to rights.

Have a great day all!

Happy Friday all!

Well when we said "take a seat" this isnt what we meant. Unfortunately when we removed the intake off this engine and the shrapnel remains of a piston rings and valve seat fell out of the manifold, it was never going to be a happy story. There will be a lot of very in depth checks on this one to find the cause and assess the damage.

Have a great weekend all!
