Just an update on progress! I keep the engine on my single axle trailer, just so I can move it, if needed. I don't have an engine hoist or any other lifting device. The trailer also provides an elevated, clean work platform for me. Yesterday I stood the engine up onto its bellhousing, after...

Thanks, G. SO the LDS multifuel flywheel will NOT work in a Deuce, given the measurement differences?

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** If one feels really spendy, then one could use the rebuild set for the 478 Hercules tractor engine - the pistons are Diesel...

Yes, gasket set head new style.

I have a head gasket from m-35tom and a complete headgasket kit from Memphis equipment. Yes, $$, but when you think of the alternative - time spent cutting your own (where you can), sourcing the one or two you can't McGyver, and using RTV for the others....I think it is the price to pay, given...

After a slight battle with a single exhaust manifold nut, http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?142862-4-cylinder-lower-nut-exhaust-manifold-!!!! , the heads are finally off and went to the machine shop today, together with the flywheel. The multifuel 5ton flywheel is the same as the...

I also have new steering box seals... ;-) If I manage to do all this before the snow falls, I'll paint, too!

Just recovering from ordering the rod bolts. Needed to search around; they ranged between $23.20 and $25 A PIECE. Makes the ARP head studs look cheap (I did not order these). I finally managed to source the 12 point rod bolts for $16.45 each. My original plan was to get a takeout running engine...

I searched and see that the bolts are available from tractor supply specialists such as Maibach and they are the 12-point style. Which part # am I looking for? Or is it just for the 2-135 Oliver/White engine? I hoped to avoid a full "refresh" on this engine, but...darn....heads will be off...

Looked at the engine again and ordered the HG kit from Memphis. What's one more project at this stage... :-)

Preparing to get an LDS ready for the swap - progress report and questions I have an ailing LDT in my truck that I suspect of having two "holy" pistons and will be swapped out for a later rebuild project. I just brought home a takeout LDS-465-1A, overhauled by Continental. I am ready to...
