Yes, and the LDS pistons have double oil squirters as well as the 4 rings.* *EDIT: Thanks SCSG-G4 - he points out that the LDS-465-1A pistons apparently also have 3 rings**Pull the damaged pistons and check the liners for scoring. If the liners are good, just run a cylinder hone through them and replace the pistons. You could use used pistons, just inspect the skirts well for excess wear. Use new ones if you can afford them. If you get new ones, make sure they are for the LDS. LDS and LDT pistons are different, the LDS pistons have more ring grooves and rings, and an oil cooling channel inside them.
Not correct.The multifuel 5ton flywheel is the same as the Deuce flywheel, correct?..
These are the MF-piston/liner kits that were around some time ago (and it seems most everyone here got some... me included, and thanks to Kenny!):Yes, and the LDS pistons have double oil squirters as well as the 4 rings.* *EDIT: Thanks SCSG-G4 - he points out that the LDS-465-1A pistons apparently also have 3 rings**

Could be, but why didn't they do this with the LDT engine ? Was this some "special" project to make more HP out of the LDS engines by increasing the RPM's ?The diesel version is rated for a lower rpm, could be they pulled the ring to accommodate the military application with a higher rpm demand

And the EPA kills another great idea ! I remember when they finally killed the "corvair" in 1969 . The car had come along way from the roll-over death traps Nader had tried to destroy in 1962. My good friend collects Corvairs and from what I've seen they where a car before their time.I think the short answer is yes. Based on this and the turbos they were experimenting with, it seems they were working on a higher HP, higher RPM, version for extended freeway use. Looking at the articles on multifuel development in other threads, this was the direction they were going in until the EPA gave them 12 months to comply with new emissions rules.
