-Sleeved and rebuilt 201 CID diesel
-rebuilt torque converter with new torque plate
-Rebuilt then professionally calibrated Injector pump and injectors with new tips
-Re cored radiator
-tank cleaned and lined
-re wired almost everything
-proper oil pressure gauge installed
-all new fluids including anti cavitation stuff in the rad
Got the engine back in and flashed up much easier then anticipated with no leaks. (Only ran it for a few minutes)
Time to break it in!
A tugboat Diesel engine rebuilder told me:
half throttle for 30 min
Three quarter for 30 min
Full throttle for an hour
Read here on YT:
-Let idle for 2-3 hours at 1800rpm
-Work it hard
-Pull a Plow or something at a constant 1800rpm (I dont have anything to pull)
Is it constant or verying engine RPM ?
My latest video in this rebuild preocess is here:
