    Engine has a miss......or two, maybe another issue.

    Ok thank you. I will say it is a homemade welded manifold and not a factory cast one.

    Engine has a miss......or two, maybe another issue.

    So I bought a MH55 a while back. The engine was loose and I was told it hadn't run in 6 years. I got it running and using spark detectors on each cylinder it shows its firing on all cylinders. However, it has an audible miss-fire. I took the plug wire off of each spark plug to listen for a...

    MH55 oil filter

    What oil filter are y'all running? A 55 I bought recently had a Fleetguard LF-526 in it, and while I can order it online, its not readily available at my local any of my local auto stores. Even if I cross-reference it its still at least a 10 day wait, if I can even get something at all.

    MH55 engine question

    My question is about the engine coding. So I bought a 55 gas today. I noticed that a above the serial number on the engine instead of just saying J382 it says 1JA382G. Of course I figure J is obviously the engine series and G is for gas and 382 is the displacement but does the 1 and the A mean...

    Best way to free a stuck pistons

    A buddy of mine has one he's not doing anything with. I doubt he would part with it. Worse case scenario I can always put the spare motor for my sawmill in it, a D1145 Caterpillar Diesel. Im going to try to do what I can with what's in it first though.

    That was something else. The Continental 382 was also available as a 403. Which is just a .125 overbore. I had thought about just putting in that kit, however, I have never seen any cylinder parts for sale for a 403 or anything listed as an overbore kit.

    Best way to free a stuck pistons

    They might be beyond hope but I'll find out eventually. I've rebuilt engines before just had never had one that was stuck let alone this bad. Wanted to see what others had used for penetrant or what they had done to get them unstuck.

    Best way to free a stuck pistons

    This is what I've been hoping for best case scenario. Ive got the 2 engines and was hoping to be able to save 4 sleeves between the 2. From what I've read the original flat top pistons are the same except the diesel has a 5th ring. Not certain about the difference in the pistons that are...

    Best way to free a stuck pistons

    I do agree with you. Ive never rebuilt an engine that the piston kit alone was over $3k. Im having a little trouble with that price I guess. What puzzles me is the gas piston kit listed on jensales is over $3k and the diesel kit is around $1600.
