    MEP-803 compression bypass by injectors

    Double checked there’s only one washer in the bore. Then tried the annealing thing. Injectors look good, took one apart and didn’t see anything. Tapped the wings down with a piece of metal and a hammer also. Still no luck, leaking like before. As a last resort, tried one of the injectors and...

    MEP-803 compression bypass by injectors

    2010 803, around 250 hrs. I was replacing the fuel return lines because they were leaking. After replacing, had some diesel left over on the head by the injectors. When running it, noticed small bubbles forming around the injector. Reached out to a few guys on here, followed their advice. 1...

    MEP 803 smoking under load.

    messing with it now. Will update. found another problem, looked down by the battery on the right side, saw a lot of oil. Had a mini heart attack lol. Wiped it all down. then ran it again and saw it’s leaking from the seal, I think it’s the fuel shut off solenoid. Another thing to fix.

    MEP 803 smoking under load.

    Hey everyone took the advice from the other threads and took off the muffler. Got it running and loaded it up to 105% and I can clearly see 2 cylinders puffing smoke. The other two seem to be running okay. Had it running for like 10 minutes and can see the carbon build up on the valve covers...

    Yanmar L48AE Injector seal MEP 531/831

    I looked in there, looks like it’s just the seat for the injector. Unless that is supposed to be the seal.

    Yanmar L48AE Injector seal MEP 531/831

    Hey everyone, on the yanmar engines used in the 531/831, is there supposed to be a injector seal, kind of like a copper washer or something along those lines ? I took an injector out today and there was no seal in it but the parts breakdown had two types listed. Parts 17 and 18 in the diagram...

    MEP-803 fuel pump Length discrepancy

    There is a tag but looking at the manual it’s for the year and serial number unless I’m reading it wrong. But then this tag doesn’t follow the scheme as is. Missing the model
