Rebuilding a Perkins AD3.152 in my MF 40. New head, pistons, rings, rod bearings. #3 piston is hitting the exhaust valve and locks the engine. It's on a stand so no damage. I'm thinking take the pistons out and have the tops ground down a tad. Any thoughts on that?? Thanks in advance. I'll probably just go ahead and do it but thought I'd throw it in here, just in case. I have tried what little can be done and it's no use. I have to back off the lash adjuster all the way in order for the piston to travel past TDC. I'll check into where I got the pistons but the 3
#'s were correct for my model and upon inspection before they were installed, they seemed an identical match to my old pistons, so WTF!!! Gotta be the piston, huh?
