Onan rebuild

Recommended Posts

Onan motor needs rebuilt. I want to keep an Onan in my 520-H. I am in the Martinsburg WV area so I don't want to travel to far.

Do you not have the time for this? What exactly is the issue? Knocking? Low compression, something else?

Has a knocking noise in the front of the engine. Seems to be around a valve. Haven't had a chance to check for leak down or cyl pressure. I am short on tools these days and I really don't have a place to do much of that kind of work. It uses quite a bit of oil and I'm pretty sure it needs a look at internally. I'm gonna look at it tonite an see if I can find the problem. I am really looking to find somebody who can rebuilt the engine.

How do I get with the guy in Harrisonburg. I will get with him and go from there. I'm not surprised at the price either from what I can tell. I may look around and see is I can find another engine or a used tractor.

I plan on going to the Big Show next month. Hope to do a little shopping while there.

I'm going to wait till after the Big Show. Give me a chance to see what's put there as I got my 145 going. Been sitting for 3 or 4 years. Knocked off the spider webs and the squirrel nests and it runs great. I am wanting for the show as I have never heard of it. Sounds like its gonna be something.

I have an Onan P220G-I/10956C from a 1990 520H now for sale.  It is running and presently still on it's tractor.  Working hour meter shows 455 +/-. The tractor has other parts that will be used with the rest of my 520H herd.  Location is Churchville, Maryland.

 

Had an inquiry to my Craigs List ad from a man who wanted to use the engine on a Steiner to replace an Onan B48GGA020.  Neither of us know how compatible the two engines are.  Would appreciate comments from anyone who has made such a change.

Got the inquiry. Got another engine, just haven't had the time to change them out. If you are interested in the old engine it can be yours but not sure when I will get it out.
