1) Do any of you know if the V1702 Kubota engine is a wet or dry sleeve block?
2) After getting the head magnafluxed I found the head to be cracked between the #3 valves and pretty warped...what are the odds of the block/sleeve to be cracked on these engines?
3) before the head was removed the oil pressure was reading: Idle @ 25-30 psi & Operating RPM @ 50-60 psi ... are these good values?
4) Pressue test reulted:
4 = 260 psi
3 = 128 psi
2 = 160 psi
1 = 262 psi
5) The head gasket shows evidence that the cylinder was breathing between all of the cylinders which could explain the low compression values.
6) If a sleeve was cracked would it be visible to the naked eye?
7) If the bore checks good, I would like to re-ring, hone and place new bearings in the lower end (along with a new head to replace the cracked one). Thoughts?
8) I did not treat this poor tractor like mud... the old farmer who ran it with it white stacking before me did, however... I picked it up as a project tractor for our midwest acreage and am just trying to gain an idea where we are sitting before buying parts. Thanks in advance for all the help!!
