This is the first in many post on rebuilding the 401 in this tractor. As stated before, water is getting into the oil. We all know what that means. Can you find hole in the block after you tear the motor down? I've been told to remove the pan and pressurize the system and see where its leaking. With the FWA, is this possible? I have made up my mind to rebuild the motor anyway. The cost is not extremely high to do this. Machine work will be around $2600.00. Parts are estimated at $7000.00. This includes new pistons, sleeves, and all new valves. Maybe it won't need some of these parts but I'm including them in the budget. My overhaul manual does not cover removing the FWA. Is this a straight forward procedure? I have a skid steer and plenty of jack and wood blocks! Thanks for any advice.
