Differences in 190 gas and diesel

As Joe(TX) mentioned the heads are different and so are the pistons between the G2800 and D2800.

The sleeves, however are the same and are available separately from the piston and sleeve combo.

If you cannot get a sleeve and piston kit, you should be able to get sleeves only (From AGCO).

And unless your pistons have badly worn ring grooves you should be able to reuse them. The piston pin is not pressed into the con rod. The rod has a replaceable bushing in the upper end, so there should be no pin wear in the piston.

Hope this helps.

Actually I have never seen the inside of a 2800 series gas engine, but I would have to believe the gas cylinder head has a combustion chamber in it while the diesel head is flat. I also don't believe the top of the piston would be any where near the same shape. The top of the diesel piston has a swirl chamber built into it, the gas psiton is probably flat or a little dished.

The pin (compression) height would also be different between gas and diesel.

I do however, have access to the parts manual on both of these engines and may be able to tell from the images if there is any dramatic difference between the two pistons. Unfortunately, it will be Monday before I can take a look.
