    3T84HLE Top Overhaul Complete but Water Pump Is Leaking

    I'm pleased to report that with over two hours of time on the engine, the water pump plug is not leaking. I used this stuff: <s></s>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071V7HHPF<e></e> It's a lot thicker than the cheap white stuff from Harbor Freight and I wrapped several wraps around the plug's...

    3T84HLE Top Overhaul Complete but Water Pump Is Leaking

    The water pump was the only part I needed that is no longer available from Yanmar or my Takeuchi dealer so I had to risk a Chinese aftermarket replacement from Mottrol International Inc. / Yuan Lin Precision Machinery Company. It figures that it's the only thing that isn't working right after my...

    Cyl Head "Main bolt and nut" vs. "Stud bolt" Torque?

    I finished my top overhaul (new big end bearings, sleeves, pistons, wrist pins, on up) and started the engine. I let it idle for a few minutes and then brought the throttle up to a fast idle to get the coolant temp up into the green, as advised in the service manual. I probably ran it for about...

    Cyl Head "Main bolt and nut" vs. "Stud bolt" Torque?

    I'm trying to finish a top end overhaul on the 3T84HLE in my mini-ex but I ran into a snag tonight. The service manual "Cylinder head clamping bolt" spec is: Main bolt and nut M12 94-101.3 ft-lb Sub. bolt M8 18.1-21.7 ft-lb Stud bolt M12 36.2-40...

    Cyl Head "Main bolt and nut" vs. "Stud bolt" Torque?

    Engine is assembled. Took my best guess on the cylinder bolt and stud head torques. Bad weather is coming and I couldn't wait for a mod to bless my newbies post. Hope I made the right guess.
