I've been looking around for an overhaul kit for a WD. I've seen prices all the way from $550 to $800. I don't have the engine torn down yet, but I suspect that I will need a complete kit. Is there a big difference in these kits as to quality or is it just different levels of pricing by different dealers? Any recommendations? What should I look out for?

See if you can get a list of the contents of each kit. Some will only have pistons,rings,bearings,and gaskets. It also depends on how good a job you want to do. If all you plan to do is collect it, give rides from time to time, Steve's ideas make sense. I'm one of those who just can't put anything back unless its 100% no matter what and will be willing to spend a few extra $ to do it. Last I heard, AGCO was selling the lowest priced o.h. kits that used the same parts used at the factory. Hope this helps, Brian.

Cruise the salvage yards and see if you can find a combine or a Uni Harvester with a V8 chevy that you can get the govenor system from. Should make it easier to operate the beast!
Have fun. Dave

Crank, you may want to disassemble first. I bought a C engine that was stuck. Took it apart and the rings were froze to the piston and bore. (rain in the top end). Had 3 valves stuck in the guides also. After beating everything apart and measuring the bore, crank, pistons, etc, what it really needed was crank bearings reshimmed .002 inch, new rings and hone the original bores, clean piston groves, cut valve faces on a lathe and then lap them into the head. I bought rings and gaskets for about $130. might keep that in mind.

Well, I have used both M&W, and TSC kits, and they work and pull EXACTLY the same..... I feel the M&W kit looks better made, and is not that much more.... ONE THING you MUST check... the older AC blocks (thru the D-17 ) crack between the # 1 and #2 cylinder, at the web between them, at the bottom..You can see the crack from the bottom, and it will have to be resistance-welded..Columbus Col-Weld, in Cols, Ohio did mine, and Guarantee them to not crack again- they pin the block, and weld them...Use plenty of permatex at the bottom of the sleeves... If you put in the 1/8" overbore, you will need to convert to 12 volt..or be ready to hand crank it ....!! Hope this helps...!!!!
