After checking for the right mounting location for the flywheel I also found that the factory mark for TDC was not accurate. I found what I believe to be the precise TDC spot and punched it with a flat chisel so I can check the fuel timing. It ran fine when I pulled it down but if there is any...

My shop foreman advises that this wrench is to large for installing the oil pan. Well ok..........if you say so.:D:D:D She was really impressed with this big 24" wrench and could hardly hold it up.;)

Thanks. Yes, I can't wait to make some smoke :D:D:D

OH I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek: It won't start because it can't get fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a small square cover on the side of the injector pump housing. Something like 2"X2" or maybe 1 1/2"X 1 1/2"...... anyway, take the four screws out of the cover and...

Well I got this shorty sender with my Auto Meter electric temp kit. The guage has a black face with white letters and numbers to match my Kubota RPM guage also.:D I threaded 1/8 NPT into the head cover where the upper rad hose neck exhausts this "perk" coolant. This shorty sender will fit...

You will be lucky if it is a head gasket but I doubt it very much!!!:(:(:( Sorry but this is bad news. Most likely the head is cracked and you will need a new one. The Kubota head gaskets are very thick .145 and it is not common for the gasket to blow. Heat build up will crack the head in the...

Well since the question has been put out there I will tell my source for Kubota engine parts. They don't have other body and tractor related pieces but everything to do with engine they have. It is genuine Kubota and the prices are great. I can't find anything cheaper anywhere including ebay...

I got the cam and lifters in and then, well here is the dreamer in me :D I couldn't leave the shop without setting the head up on the deck and checking it out. :D I'm not ready for this step yet but it sure looked good. :D It sure will be great to fire this thing up when it is done.:D I'm...

Once I got the new slugs in the holes I checked the clearance. My "0" deck tool shows .022 in this pic but the full calculations came out to be .025 above the deck. Since the gasket is .140 there is not going to be a problem. I can check again after the head is torqued but my numbers come out...

I suppose the old rod bearings could have gone right back in also but I wasn't going to go all the way to OZ and not see the wizzard, if you know what I mean, I replaced everything. The bearing shells are interchangeable so flipping the uppers and lowers is a nice way to get more out of them but...

Well mama would kill me if I ruined the camera so I go through a ton of those blue rubber gloves :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

I&T manual :eek::eek: Some swear by them and some swear at them :D:D:D:D Mine kinda pizzes me off at times when it doesn't have something I need. I am going through my engine and when I want raw data I have to read through a whole section telling me how to do something just to get the numbers...

Here are the pistons mounted on the rods. I exceeded the 5 pic limit so they had to go here. :D:D:D

I got the crankshaft put back in. :( Do you think Kubota could use a couple more bolts at the back end of this engine.:confused: :D The governor, pump cams and hydraulic pump drive went back in perfectly. The large half moon pieces that hold the bearings for the main journals of the crank can...

No. I got new bushings and piston pins for the rods but that is the only work I can determine was needed for the rod's sake. Since this engine didn't even have 300 hrs on it everything was in nice shape internally. The old piston and rod assemblies took a pounding from cranking with water in the...

Well the head is completed now. Looks great. I left the neck cover off the front of the head for now because I am checking into having a bung tiged on so I can run a sensor and guage in this engine. There is no way I will operate this thing again if I don't know the engine temp.:mad::mad::mad...

The clay process is one way to clearance them. On this Z750 block the flat top piston rises above the deck very close to .040 or more. :eek: I will measure the exact rise after getting the block together. I didn't know Kubota put that much squeeze to the head. I can see why since the pre-chamber...

Got the block back from the machine shop today. $180 to bore/hone and skim the deck to true it up. They took .005 off the deck to get it all cleaned up so now I am going to need to clearance the pistons when I get them loaded. The old pistons had an impression of the pre-chamber in the top of...

I prepped the block by using a dingel hone lightly only to knock off the black build-up that forms between the liner and the block. Then cleaned the bore out with brake clean making sure it was scrubbed well. Next WD-40 coated the bore and liner very liberally. The liners pressed in very...

My little air compressor can't keep up with my press pump so after getting this far I had to wait for the compressor to catch up.
