Had to remove & make/modify exhaust, air filter, crank breather, & fuel overflow reservoir. Didnt wanna drill/tap original fuel tank. Ebay diesel. Think its the same on Amazon. It has a decompression lever. Its hard starting in cold weather but if its over 60° it always starts on the 1st pull. I will have to check them out really have soft spot for diesels.

I never completed it & sold it at a local show to a guy from out of state. He offered me too much $$ to say no. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have got a few extra 400 Suburban parts laying around (hood,frame,frontaxle etc.) and was thinking of making some sort of custom out of them and thought a diesel would be interesting to use. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 31,691 #25957 Posted 1 hour ago 1 hour ago, WHX?? said: Not only that @Achto busted a brand new piston ring and invented some brand new french. Sad but true. Got up early this morning in hopes to wrap up an engine rebuild. Got to the point of installing the rings on the piston. Bottom ring went well, got to the second ring and of course it dropped in the top groove. Was carefully walking it around and.......snap. After the words of choice stopped I lit a thinking stick and went for about a 1/4 mile walk to calm down. Well as they say "Crap happens". I'm over it, new parts are on the way, hopefully next time will turn out better. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
