    MF 135 engine block

    I'm not sure how to correctly use the forum when I just have general questions or comments. Sometimes I'm not interested in addressing an individual. Update on my project. Finally got willing and pulled the head after I applied air pressure thru the injector ports and got a positive response on...

    The kit included some bolts and some studs so the stripping happened on the nuts of the studs. The stud threads looked good so we just put the nuts from the original studs on those two and torqued them down.

    Interesting point about the hot retorque. I searched extensively for specific instructions on that point before initial startup. I got many conflicting answers, not about retorque but specifically doing it hot or cold. I finally elected to do it hot but realistically it's just warm, because by...

    Coolant level is quite low. Water pump is disabled so no action there. I seriously doubt that expansion from heat on a cold engine can be a significant contributor in a 20 second run but maybe I'm wrong.

    Engine is AD3 152 Perkins 3 cylinder diesel. Trying to diagnose very strange air pressure in cooling system. Just replaced head gasket and experienced air pressure in radiator.
