Hi Jake,
I haven"t decided yet whether I"ll take the cam out or gear off. I"m
still thinking about what you told me last time. I don"t want to
trash the gear. How do the dowels work? Do they wedge into the
top of the lifter tight enough to hold them? My manual says they
should be 1/2" x 18" with a split in the end.
With the seal I was waiting to see how worn the seal area on the
crank was to see if I need the wear ring. The seal I got from my
CIH dealer has the plastic sleeve to help install the seal, but I
don"t have the tool to install the wear ring. I assume that"s like a
speedy sleeve, right?
I think this is a high-hour tractor, but it looks to me like it"s
been majored not too long ago. You can still plainly see the
crosshatch marks on the cylinders and there is no ridge at the
top. The valves look great, stems have no wear, just shiny spots,
and the guides are within specs. However the valve springs
stand crooked. Is that not a big deal on this motor? Most
manuals for other motors want those to be square.
The shop was built with tin on the outside and the inside with
insulation in between. To me it"s a great idea since it"s nice and
bright, won"t need painting for a long time, and you don"t have
to worry about starting your wall on fire from welding spatter or
grinding sparks.
Thank you for your insight and help!
Paul
