Need a motor

[rd69599]

After all the work done to remove the head it was a shot in the arm to discover that i have a burnt pistion. But I dont know what caused it.
Anyone know a place where I can get a new engine or have mine rebuilt. Its for a 67 kaiser M-35 A2 multi fuel.

I have a complete good engine that I'd sell.

 

[Westech]

or put a new piston and sleeve in it.. but installing a good take out prob would be ezer

 

[rd69599]

Id like to repair this engine, But I dont have the tools or the know how to do it. Can these parts be found?

How do ya figure that? The head is off, now just drop the pan and push the piston out...a half hour to get that far and alot lighter. You need to find out why the piston got damaged though. Take a pic of it and let us see what the damage is. If you took off the cylinder head, you can change a cylinder kit, it's alot less complicated than doing the overhead stuff. The only special tool you'll need is a liner puller.

You need to find out why the piston got damaged though

thats why.... you have a bad gasket, head, injector... ect.....And not to sound like im making fun of anyone, we have all started someplace. We did not just wake up and know how to work on cars and trucks but...finding out what happened is really going to be tough for this guy

But I dont have the tools or the know how to do it

installing a take out is going to be the best bet here. and like I said im not dissing on anyone! just the way it is this moment in time.

I also have a good running complete take out LDT 465-1D engine for sale as well

 

[rd69599]

Thanks for the help. Yes due to your suggestions I discovered the injector is toast. Im not afraid to try to tacle changing the pistion. If i get it its great. If not Ill just call it another another reason why Im an electrician and not a mechanic.
Im going to try to post some pictures of the dammage hope it works.

 

[Sephirothq]

i have a good running engine for sale that you could hear run as well.

 

[rd69599]

You can not tell mutch about this picture. But the area that it shaded is burnt off down to the rings. You can actually see the rings. The pistion wall has a scratch that may be able to be honed out. Im not sure

 

[Westech]

well go for it. A piston, sleeve, and gasket set will cost around 500 and dont forget some fluids too

 

[rd69599]

Im going to try it. This might be the only way I can get her going. I dont have any way to pull the motor. If it works ill be one happy camper. If it dont work atleast I tried and may learn some new things about my first duce that I couldnt learn anyother way. Trial and error has always been my most valueable learning lessons. Where can I find the parts. THANK YOU.

Westech love your picture man. Thats half the reason im doing this, KIDS need to rember history and be a part of it.

 

[Recovry4x4]

I think with the support network here, you should be able to do it. Lots of folks offering up engines. Wished one was neary and in a can, never have too many deuce engines.

 

[Westech]

kids? thats ME! lol

 

[Floridianson]

Who would be the best shot for the liner tool?

 

[WillWagner]

Let me look around, I might have an old style one that is way lighter than the OTC universal one I have.

 

[Djfreema]

The liner might pull out by hand. On a motor I took apart, 3 of the liners popped right out just by pushing the piston up through the top, you might get lucky.

 

[Westech]

I have hit the sleeve with a big chisel and worked it out that way too. pound it out from the bottom

 

[Somemedic]

Id be really intrested to hear how this is going and how tuff it is to do.

The knowledge base here though is inspiring and were it me I think Id get as far as I could before I called for a tow and a garage. You guys have saved my cucv a time or 2...

 

[WillWagner]

Here's the two I have. The one on the left is a big univeral one, it adjusts to fit anything, bad part is that is about 25 pounds. The one on the right is another universal, but it has the 5-5 1/2 foot on it. I might have a 4 1/2 to 5 at work, and I can't find the bridge, but that is easy to fab up. I weigs about 5 pounds. Even If I don't have the foot, I can do some cutting on the to make it work, or make another foot. You are more than welcome to use one.

Woops, forgot the pic!
