I found that 3 of the glow plugs had swollen tips and the one for the cylinder with a damaged piston had a piece missing from the glow plug. These were the 24v Wellman plugs. I am a bit hesitant to spend $300 on a set of glow plugs that have already damaged my engine. I checked for champion ch42...

I have been working a lot so it is difficult to find time for the generator. So far I have replaced the piston with one that I got from Ray70 and I also had him pop test the injectors with new nozzles. I have the injector pump off and will be ordering a gasket kit from Ambac tomorrow as...

I would definitely like to buy a piston off of you! Mine has 112-c-124 stamped on the top and is a standard bore. If you still rebuild and pop test injectors I would like to change my nozzles and want to make sure they are working correctly before restarting the engine. I am going to call Ambac...

Got the oil pan pulled off and took the piston out. There are 2 spots in the cylinder with streak marks but the honing is still visible underneath and I can't catch a finger on it. Time to order some new parts.

Got the head pulled off. Took some pictures along the way. There was a lot of oil in cylinder 4's exhaust port. Once the head was off you could see that #4 piston has a missing piece. The cylinder wall looks unharmed so I will start looking for a std bore piston for this thing.

It has been a long time since I have been free to work on my 003a. I always hate when a thread is unfinished so I will continue to post my progress as I work in the generator. I tested compression this morning and cylinders 1,2,3 were between 325-340 psi. Cylinder 4 on the other hand was down...

I finally got the flywheel on correctly and got the injector pump timed. I removed the delivery valve spring and did the flow test on the injector pump. Everything was exactly in time so I went on and got the valves adjusted. After that I fired up the generator and dialed it in at 60 hz. After...

I did replace the air filter and make sure the intake was open. It is also set to summer mode on the air filter housing. I guess I can drop the exhaust valve onto the piston and use a dial indicator to find tdc. Then just make a new PC mark?

I removed the injectors and cleaned them and replaced the gaskets before starting the unit and replaced the glow plugs. The injector pump slot didn't line up with the PC mark on the flywheel at first but I lined them up and then moved on to the flow test. At that point I realized PC was when...

The generator is new to me. It shows 377 hours and the only markings on it say that the fan bolts got changed. It had obviously been sitting for many years before I bought it and I changed the oil and filters and flushed the fuel tank, lines, and strainer. After this the generator would run for...

I am trying to set the injector pump timing on my 003a and am having trouble. If I turn the engine clockwise while on the blower end and watch the valves for #1 cylinder (the cylinder on the blower end) the exhaust valve closes and just before the intake valve opens the PC mark is lined up with...
