    Found a Caterpillar 3024c which is the same motor, about 5 hours from the house. I'll rebuild it and slap it in there.

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    I know! 90% of people will spray ether when they dont start. I tell people all the time don't do that and they reply well I just sprayed a little. Then I say, well that little may have just cost you a engine. This unit came from the state surplus so I have a feeling the idiots at the state did...

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    They drained all the oil. I'll see if theres any in the bottom when I pull it. I've read some of these engines have a lot of casting material in the blocks after manufacturing which get into the oil and then plug up ports. So it could have ran dry on that cylinder which caused the failure.

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    The unit is a 2010 model and it looks new. It has a digital hour meter but I haven't put batteries on it yet to see the hours. The only thing I can figure is someone sprayed ether in it and broke the rod, which then came out the side of the block.

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    I thought about that too. I called a different dealer and they wanted $1,800 for the short block and that's just a little less than what I paid for the whole unit. These motors are made of gold! There is a used short block on ebay for $1500. I can't believe there are not more of these used out...

    20kw Drash Generator Engine Perkins 404D-22T

    Just got in a 2010 Drash HVAC unit with the 20kw generator set-up. Looking over everything and find the side of the block is blown out, due to a thrown rod. It's hard to believe because the unit still looks new with less than 100 hours on it. Does anyone have a source for the Perkins 404D-22T...
