I'll have a 803a with 25 hours ready in the next couple of weeks, with brand new optima red tops. I have a couple with 1500-2000hrs, also.

I have a bunch of parts too if you need them. Just remember that if something is wrong with the plunger you can't switch them around from another unit. The plunger and head are manufactured together and the specs correspond to each other.

Thanks suprman! on your parts unit does it have the access door on top, that covers the radiator cap? I'm missing that also.

Sorry, totally missed it. I don't know how I missed it because when we started talking about the crank, I went back and read the post again. I didn't go all the way to the beginning, I guess. Thanks.

Why do you think the crank is broke? The cranks on these are pretty tough, the alumunin pistons usually break into pieces before the crank breaks. The fastest way to confirm your theory is to take the side cover off (where the oil filter is located), then you'll see the entire bottom end of the...

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...

They are posting ads on facebook. They say they have 50 of them in stock. $1,000 is not a bad price at all for a remanufactured engine.

Suprman if you'll let me know if you have a good motor, that would be great.

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.

Like someone else added Adelman's in Chicago bought a bunch of the LPW4 and are selling them as remanufactured for $1000. They come with the alternator and starter so you'll have parts as spares or sell to recoup some money.

You may have a small amount coming out but I'm talking about a lot. Like covering the battery under it after just cranking it for 3-4 30second cycles.

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.

Its an applied unit. I put Drash so more people would see the title and maybe know about the motor.

Did it have coolant in the radiator? If so could you see if it mixed with oil. 99% of the time when oil is in the crankcase its because the flip was off or left up and rain water entered. Try to rotate the motor over by hand, if it moves freely, try to start. If it doesn't start, take the...

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...

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...

They are very nice units and will give the MEP's a run for the money. I've had a couple with several thousands hours and no problems.

Someone posted long ago about finding a replacement. It wasn't OEM but it went to a volkswagon or something. I'll see if I can find it.

Rotella 15w-40 with oil changes between 300-500 hours. He's only changed the fuel filters twice and changed the coolant once. Pretty amazing.
