After comparing after first hone and second hone, a majority of the scratches have been reduced. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B45AWBFXIAUtVkRGOUs1WnFmYVE

Thanks Diesel Addict Attempt #2 Honed for 40 secs, seems most of the scratches lightened up. Ill will retake pictures in a few hours, couldn't see screen in sunlight. My finger nail does not catch any of the scratches, before and after...

Honed the cylinder today took it out side after and noticed some vertical scratches that are still present honed for 22 secs at 550 - 600 rpm. I think I need to rehone it till they go away, right? This camera just doesn't show scratches that easy. I had to place link to my Google Drive, the site...

You know you can click on the picture to make it bigger right? Thanks

Anyone know which ring is the 1st? I'm guessing the 1st ring is the silver one.

Pulled Flywheel and Crankshaft today, going to hone it tomorrow and clean it out. When using flywheel locking wrench and an puller to pull flywheel use M6x1.00 12.9 bolts don't cheap out. It takes a lot of force to break flywheel nut lose, as well as the puller. I ended up bending the bolts I...

Okay never mind these are easy to remove, removed both with no issues. 35mm should do nicely

Has anyone tried removing their exhaust studs? Thinking about replacing with M8 x 1.25mm x 35mm Alloy Steel Exhaust Manifold Studs. The 35mm length might not be enough won't know till I remove them. The stock studs are M8X 18, the 18mm is what is exposed. I plan to extract studs with double nut.

I assembled the valves today

I'm curious if anyone else has had issues with their muffler nuts becoming lose from operating vibrations. If so I came across a product that seems to hold together for the 8 hrs I was able to test them, before having to tear down engine. NORD-LOCK NL8SP VIBRATION PROOF LOCK WASHER 5/16" paired...

Cool, I thought I might of messed it up. Thanks

I lapped the valves hopefully correctly. Spent about 2 mins on each valve. My dry erase marker was dried up, I will pick up a kit tomorrow if need be. Measurements Intake valve 1.94mm(wear pattern) intake seat 1.79mm Exhaust valve 1.75mm(wear...

I plan to do that, instead of bluing I want to use dry erase marker. I have been looking at YouTube on how to do this, practically every video out there contradicts each other. That's YouTube right lol EDIT I'm fairly sure how to lap the valves

Valves and springs are here, valve seal pliers/installer will be here tomorrow. So I should be able to have the head assembled in a few days. I will upload a video when I get it up and running. Thanks

I personally wouldn't spend anymore than $225 on it, $225 seems to be the price point on these units online. Heres a link to the TM's there are under Technical Manuals here on steel soldiers. I know it says MEP-015A it also covers the MEP-025A All the TM's you need to work on the MEP-015A Gen Set

I almost bought one of those from a ebay seller in CA, ended up deciding not to after discovering the TMs for it are restricted. The only difference was this one put out 120 volts AC. I think its made my Walker Power Systems and the engine Lister-Petter T-series. The gen set itself as I...

This is the items I bought the other day to lap valves.

Thanks Rustystud and DieselAddict I cleaned the valve seats today, the exhaust valve seat is scratched up a bit. I do have a brand new set of valves on the way. I think it needs to be ground, is it something that I can do?

Thank You DieselAddict, I order a new set of valves as well as springs. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "dress the valve seats". Do you mean lap with grinding compound or a valve grinding tool?

I discovered some pitting on engine block, while cleaning surface. Can this cause issues? I have been using carb cleaner and a scotch bright pads. Can of carb cleaner only warns against paint and plastic. I think it was caused by all the crap that was on it before i cleaned it.
