I've got a MF 3165 that has 7700 hours on it and is in need of an engine rebuild. It's got the perkins 4 cylinder diesel. Im not wanting to do a super indepth build, just the basic piston sleeves, rings, bearings, gaskets, etc. Im not sure i want to get into the valves...
Anyway does anyone have experience with the kits sold by YT? or are there other kits i should look at?
Are there specific things i should look for in a kit?
are there specific things i should do on the engine during a rebuild that may not be included in a kit?
In other words i need some advice on this project. In not ready to tear into it yet, got more work to do yet this year, but this fall before i really start feeding hay, i plan to get to it.
The main symptoms that make me conclude that it needs a rebuild are the following:
1 lack of torque, really lags even on small hills with a relativly small loads.
2 smokes, not black smoke, just grayish
3 quite a bit of blow by exaust out the crankcase ventalator hose
Hard to start in temps below 70...not 20, 70 pretty bad
