The full rebuild kit for a 284 gas engine out of a Case 830 costs about 2300 dollars. For the 301 it is less than 1000. I have read that the block can be machined to take 301 pistons and sleeves. Does anyone here have direct knowledge,he of this?
There is water in the oil and the head gaskets looked ok. I could move the pistons side to side enough to make a knocking sound. Sleeves could be leaking too. Or maybe the oil filter mount, I hadn't thought of that, it seems to be a cooled mount.
