    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    Ok here's an update. I thought I had everything fixed, Took it for short rides around my area and everything was good. I went to make a 150 mile road trip for deer camp and it was a 14 hr adventure. First I had a fuel line break at the ip pump. Fixed that at a gas station. With a 11/16, 9/16...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    No I haven't, I've been busy reading my house. I have drove it and everything felt and sounded good. I do plan on pulling the cover again and looking before I drive it back up north for hinting season. I'll check back when I do.

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    Ya I know, ill pull the cover off it again maybe tonight and take a couple pushrods out and compare them. I have calipers but nothing long enough to measure them with, so ill just have to compare them. Even if it is a flat tappet cam I should be able to out one new lifter in right? I know...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    Are the lifters easy to get out? can I just pull it up threw the head threw the pushrod hole? If its the pushrod I would think the adjustment i made would be ok. a lifter would be alittle different. I only put maybe 500 miles a year on it so I'll see how its runs around town for awhile. Thanks...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    no I didnt pull it all the way off so I didnt get to check that part. Ya I know, The rocker arm didnt look bent either. I Know its not in the valve or pushrod, unless somehow the pushrod colapsed. I looked at it and it looked spot welded on the sides. So unless those let go and it jammed it in...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    Ya I checked them, the lifter end was nice and smooth and shinny, the top was nice and clean also. No grooves or gouges. Its just that I was looking at every other rocker and they all have alot more of the adjusting screw showing. I thought at first the valve was stuck open alittle, but I...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    ok got a chance to look at it. I just finished putting it all back together. The 3rd valve from the rear of the engine was really lose. The lock nut was tight but im talking .250? I checked the pushrod and it was nice and straight, it spun freely. I adjusted it and got it really close. I did...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    Ok thanks, ill check the valves first, then look at the head baskets. I did have oil around the oil fill cap which I never had before. I assumed ( hate that word lol ) that I broke a piston and the blow by pushed it out there. I run straight diesel from the pump. But I did pour about a gallon...

    need advice, think I popped a piston :(

    OK I took my m109 on a 280 mile road trip this weekend, used it as the rv I turned it into and everything was great. Well about 20 miles from home I stopped for a cold drink and heard a knocking sound, Thought at first it was a rod but the thumping is coming back out the intake. I drove it home...
