JD 219 diesel engine woes

[37chief]

We have a harvester with a JD 219
diesel in it that has met with
misfortune. It has a live remote oil
pressure Guage on it that the line
between the engine block and the
Guage itself cracked, and allowed it
to pump out a good 5 out of the 6
qts of engine oil it holds before
the driver shut it down. I fixed the
cracked line and refilled the oil
level to the full mark, then
restarted it to see what damage may
have been done. It did not lock the
engine, but at operating Temps, it
has a good 50-55 psi oil pressure,
but has a light variable mid block
squeak and light rattle now on the
lower block when at half throttle.
Sounds like possibly from cylinder
#3. I know what the permanent fix is
to tear into it and have it
rebuilt....yet again....but is there
any known temporary solution done to
limp by till another engine can be
obtained and swapped in place ? The
equipment it's in is really needed
right now,but yet I'd hate for it to
let parts loose with it directly
behind and over my head while in
operation at wide open throttle.

Using equipment, things just happen. Can't blame the operator. I try to watch my gauges. My drain plug fell out one time, on my 3 cylinder perkins diesel. The only way I noticed it was a oil streak on the next round. It probably ran for over a couple minutes, or longer with no oil. I found the plug added more oil. the motor is still operational. If your motor is making noise

I thought it was a current post also. Stan

I totally and 100 percent saw that! I try to practice what I preach. Fritz just climbed right into the middle of the conversation just as though it was a current discussion. I don’t really care that much about old threads being revived, I just know it irks some on here to no end. So I occasionally chime in with reminders or recommendations like this.
Ster, I would recommend you PM Mr. Sutton. Hover over his profile banner over any of his posts and at the bottom it says “Start Conversation” that is “private messaging” (on a phone you have to click his username) It will show a number ohis “mail or letter” icon at the top when he receives it. Same for you if he replies. Have a good day, hope you find a place for your wayward engine.

You must be fun at parties. It's a forum dude. Chill.
