Just a quick update on this. I did finally complete this rebuild and the engine seems to run fine. Does need the glow plugs to fire, which does not bother me at all. now for the bad. There is a small oil leak out of the front crank seal. I do think this might be related to me putting the...

Hello, I do not have the part numbers for you, but a good pars shop should be able to help you out. Top picture is the 'start spring'. The one that attaches to the bottom of the speed control devise is the 'govenor spring'. This may very well take care of your idling problem. The smoking is...

I need a little more help. I finally spent the time to finish putting things back together. Everything went together more or less as expected. In the end I didn't even have any extra bolts left over. :D Always a good sign in my book. The one part I did get stuck on was the injector pump &...

Yes, I only used a very small smear. My thinking was the amount was so small it would not make any real differnce long term, but during the assembly process, it couldn't hury. This small amount of grease used would be absorbed into the engine oil once the motor was first started. Mind you I...

This is exactly the problem I had. The rods have a stamped number or letter (can't remember which) on the outside of one side. Also make sure your pistons are in correctly. There is a #3 stamped on one side. These are all suppose to be on the same side of the block (again going from memory...

I'm slow but I make up for it with my inefficiencies Just a quick update. Finally got the replacement rings (ruined the first set trying to install the piston) for the #2 piston and have installed it and everything is turning smoothly. I did pick up some Plastiguage and checked the crank and...

All good, you never know about somebody's skill level or knowlege. Keep the advise coming.

The marks were there. I initially was working off a diffrent reference point and that was clearly wrong. But this is a great tip and I will remember it next time. When I disassembled the engine I did take my sweet time and used a lot of zip lock bags and a good sharpie. I knew this project...

Thanks for all the responses, must confess I missed them all before I started work last night. As previously posted, I did figure out my issue and things are working as they should. Rest assured, I am a newb but not so much as to know that I needed to have the engine bored out before trying to...

Right, wrong or what have you, I started to re-install the pistons. Two went in fine the middle piston had a problem. I ended up ruining the bottom ring on the piston. Doh! I must say even though I had to order a new ring set today I am glad I stopped to re-install the pistons. I am not sure...

I am now deep into putting the engine back together. After getting the crank on, I attacked the pistons. All were labeled to their respective cylinders when i disassimbled the engine and placed into individual zip lock bags. I put the new rings on the new +0.25mm pistons and started putting...

Just a quick update on the rebuild. I received the second replacement seal and again it was the same as the original only a different rubber material. I ended up destroying that one as well. I called the parts house here in the Portland area that I have been getting all of my parts from and...

Thanks for the interest folk but I figured it out. After using brute force a little too much and ruining the seal. I got back out my parts schematic and there it was. There are two possible seals separated by serial number break. The nice lady at the parts house confirmed this for me. So as if...

I am not an expert on block heaters. I am pretty sure that these folks http://www.warehouseautoparts.com/Specialty_Line/Kat/kats_Frost_Freeze_Plug_engine_heaters.htm should have something to help. I have been thinking about doing this in my engine rebuild. TreeFarmer

Hello, New to this forum. I ran across this site from some YouTube videos posted over there. So as my title says, I am in the middle of a complete rebuild on a Kubota D722engine. It was originaly out of a Club Car diesel powered UTV. No idea how many hours the engine had, but looks pretty...
