My case 580c, after warming it up 10 minutes, just stopped. Tried to restart, and it just cranked. It did not sound the same, like there was not as much compression. No signs of trouble before, and oil looks ok. Motor sounded fine before it stopped, was under load when it quit. Please give me an idea where to start.
Thank you.

I had a Chrysler 318 V8 do that to me when I started it once. The large timing chain sprocket on the crank shaft stripped.

I took the water pump, timing chain cover and heads off. The pistons actually did hit the pistons but all it did was push the valves closed when I cranked it. This bent some of the push rods, but I just replaced them and had the heads redone, valves, etc. Put it back together and it ran like a top. I hope you are that lucky too!

Remove valve cover and spin over. Sounds like camshaft may have either broke or timing gear spun on shaft. If valves do not move it will be one of those.

If it is either of the two that you mentioned, am I looking at rebuilding the whole engine?
Thanks for your time.

depends on whether any valves/pistons got taken out if it jumped time...its been my experience most of the time just replace timing components and go but theres always a chance...

 Re: Diesel jump timing? Push rods WILL be bent! in reply to BCnT, 08-29-2006 08:54:52  
There is very little space between the piston ATDC (at top dead center) and the cylinder head on diesels. If something caused the valve timing to change as the pistons came up, a number of push rods or rocker arms will be bent like pretzels. The valves should be ok because the pistons will push the valves straight up.
