    188d oil pump

    Thanks for the suggestions. With the injectors not in, the engine turns over fairly quickly and there is no oil even coming to the filter which is right at the discharge of the pump. My next step is to drop the pan and pull the oil pump for inspection.

    188d oil pump

    Thanks for the good suggestions. After checking most of the things you identified, I decided to drop the pan and pull the pump to inspect it. By pushing and pulling on the gear that is connected to the driven pump gear it seemed that there was quite a bit of end play so the gap between the gears...

    188d oil pump

    I finished rebuilding my Case 188 diesel engine and I am now in the process of starting it up. I filled the crankcase with oil (5 quarts) and I left the diesel injectors out and have not installed the rocker arm train because I am turning the engine over and want to verify that the oil pump is...

    Run-in oil after overhaul

    I am almost finished overhauling my 530ck 188 diesel engine; installed new wide flange sleeves, pistons, rings, main bearings and rod bearings. The next step will be the run-in. The Operators Manual for the 530ck says that new backhoes come with a special run-in oil in the crank case and that...

    Retorquing Head Nuts on 188D Engine

    I'm in the process of reassembling the engine after installing an overhaul kit. My manual says to operate the engine for one hour (under load if possible) to thoroughly warm up the engine and seat the head gasket. The manual then says to retorque each head nut, one at a time, by backing them off...

    188d Sleeve Protrusion

    I have found a reputable shop that will do the work on the counterbores. The shop owner says he is familiar with the Case 188d engine. He will machine the counterbore diameters out to 4.537 inches to accommodate new wide flange sleeves. He will also take a little bit off the counterbore...

    188d Sleeve Protrusion

    Thanks for the input. I'm starting to lean towards switching to the wide flange sleeves but I have to find a local shop that can do the machining. Am I correct in assuming that the depth of the ring on the sleeves that fits into the counterbore on both the narrow flange and wide flange...

    188d Sleeve Protrusion

    I have cleaned up the sleeves (narrow flange) from my old backhoe engine and placed them into the purchased block without the O-rings at the bottom. I clamped the sleeves down at 50 ft-lbs torque and measured the sleeve protrusion above the block deck and it is coming out to .001 - .002 inches...

    Installation of new camshaft bushings

    I'm in the process of moving the engine components from the 188D in my 530ck backhoe into a used block that I purchased. When I inspected the camshaft bushings in the purchased block they looked a little rough so I think I need to replace them with new bushings. My manual says that after...

    Oil Feed to Valve Tappet Train on 188 Diesel

    I've got the engine out of the backhoe and I've pulled the head off it. As you predicted, all 3 of the sections in the block between the cylinder sleeves are cracked. I verified that the sleeves are narrow flange but the head gasket is for a wide flange sleeve. So, it is no surprise that...

    Oil Feed to Valve Tappet Train on 188 Diesel

    Thanks for replying on this question, much appreciated. I haven't removed the head from the engine currently in the backhoe yet. I'm hoping that there is a hole straight through both in the middle and at the back end of that head allowing me to install the rocker arm bolt with the passage in...

    Oil Feed to Valve Tappet Train on 188 Diesel

    Does anyone know why Case changed the oil feed to the valve tappet train from the center bolt (between cylinders 2 & 3) to the backend bolt (past #4 cylinder) on the 188 diesel engine?

    Case 188d oil passages to rocker arm shaft

    I'm working on replacing my 188d engine block in my 530ck. I bought a used 188d engine and stripped it down to the block and it looks good so far. Pretty much everything looks identical to my existing block, however, I noticed that the oil feed from the block to the head is through the center...

    Case 530ck engine removal

    Thanks for clarifying. Everything I've seen about stators in torque converters is that they have a sprag one-way clutch, so I assumed this one was the same which was incorrect. Does the stator turn with the impeller, the turbine or is it stationary? Regarding the oil level, I know where the...

    Case 530ck engine removal

    I think my supplier in Canada gets the narrow flange head gaskets from this supplier.
