I finally pulled the head off this week. My worst fears have come true. One cylinder is terribly rusted/scaled. And there's substantial rusting in the valves. So I've decided to source a different engine. While it's not original, I've got a Perkins 3.152 heading my way with the correct...

I didn't see any water in the oil, it's still exactly at the full mark and no water showing on the dipstick. The plugs pulled didn't show any rust on them either. I'm hopeful I'll get it unstuck from letting it soak. But if not, I'll rebuild it. Just hope that the cyls would only need a...

Well, the welder is in the shop now, but it's frozen up. It was running last back in 2007 or 2008. I'm guessing since it was sitting outside in a truck for nearly a decade the rings have rusted to the cyl walls. So I've pulled the plugs and sprayed some penetrating oil in the cyl. Didn't...
