I have a fork lift with a 6 cyl L head motor. It was rebuilt 14 years ago. To make a long story short, the hose over the breather came off without my knoledge, and has been sucking wood dust in for probably some time. It still runs but smokes badly and two cyl have almost no compresson. It makes no odd noises, do you think a set of rings would fix my problem or a whole motor rebuild. The problem is time I need the lift once a week and it is expensive to rent a lift truck. I have put rings in volkeswagens and small engines but nothing like this L head. Are they hard to work on, it has been a good motor and has never given any trouble. Thanks for any help or advise.

It is a F-209. It was remanufactured in 1987. The motor tag states under rods 030 and under mains 030. I guess these are oversize? Rings will probably be too? I checked with napa they can get the parts. Will the valves have to be set after pulling the head? I am new to this type of motor.

I would not try to build this engine if you have,nt worked on one of them before, you will be in trouble if you do, the reason is that some parts are no longer available and to tear it down and find you need something else ans cant find it would put you out of commission for ever, these engines are very difficult to build in sections and would be crazy to do because of the trouble you have to go thru to dismantle and assemble, the thing is that if you go to the trouble to do it half way, you can finish the job completely in a very short time longer and the only thing extra would be the parts, the labor is the same to rebuild complete as it would be to half way do it. there is a possibility your engine will bore to a f227 bore which is 4 3/16" we are very strong in continental engines. We have been building them for 40 yrs Bob

If this is a flathead, (should be) drop the pan, if possible being a forklift it may be necessary to pull the engine which is usually quite easy, pull the head, slip in your two piston and ring sets, bolt on the head and pan, install the engine, and you're ready to run, as you have not disturbed the valvetrain still within the block. Not to say that it wouldn't be a good idea to adj valves at this point, but you don't HAVE to.
