The original subject was "Re: 1997 Ford New Holland 4630 192CI Turbo Diesel Overhaul".
As fate had it, what started out as a simple inframe turned into a
complete teardown to to broken rings, and all cylinders being way
out of spec. Cam was fine, crank was fine.
The most puzzling thing was that it looked like someone was in this
engine recently. The crank had been turned to .20, bearings looked
more or less fine. Loads of black rtv on every mating surface made
clean up very difficult.
When I pulled the injection timing gear it was set to the 4 cylinder
mark instead of 3.
Needless to say the head and block were sent out. The block was
cleaned and sleeved. New pistons, rings and pins, new bearings all
around. New seals. New clutch disc. New oil pump. New oil and temp
senders with an added oil pressure gauge.
This all took some time due to schedules and down time at the shop,
but this week she is finally back together.
I will post better pics of the completed project soon.
