I am rebuilding a 1975 (approximate) MF 40 with the Perkins AD3.152. It is direct injection, non-turbo, diesel. The previous owner did not take care of it resulting in a spun rod bearing and a bolt knocking a small hole in the block.
The hole has been repaired and new parts delivered for YT.com. The crankshaft showed that it came pre-balanced with the weights already installed. I ordered new pistons, rods, rings, and bearings.
I took the crank to a machine shop to verify everything was balanced however it does not appear to be balanced well.
Does anyone have experience balancing an aftermarket crankshaft for this engine? Any information about rebuilding the bottom end would be helpful since there is not a large 3-cylinder market at machine shops in my area and they are scratching their heads.
