You guessed it, the dozer is only running on 2 outa 4 jugs. Since the motor is on life support, I thought it would be a good candidate to test honing while running with diatomaceous earth or... BON AMI

A little known fact is you need to be able to actually diagnose the correct problem before applying the wrong old timers shade tree trick to fix it.

@PaulThomas-qo9vy Год назад

Stuck valves seem reasonable. Remove valve cover & crank it to observe the valve train & valve movement. If stuck, soak in your favorite penetrant for a while, followed by Marvel oil (MMO) let it soak for hours & occationally reapply MMO. Crank it again & observe valve movement. Some mechanics add MMO to NON-Ethanol gasoline for top-cylinder lube. A few install a MMO oil dispenser that mixes with intake air to do the same. If no valve movement, try the soft rope trick that piston aircraft mechanics use. Check pushrods for straighness & reset the valve lash. Good luck!

FWIW- Bon Ami in the air intake, on non turboed diesels anyway, is to help rings seat in glazed cylinders, not to "free stuck rings". It right in the Caterpillar manuals from the 50's at least. It's your machine, do as you want, but not pulling the valve cover first before adding an abrasive was a big mistake IMO. If you can't get the valves loose with the head on, then pull the head! It's 1/2 an hour. You can afford to do that. Get the valves freed up, get some new plugs and I bet the ol' Case will surprise you.

@TheScavenger71 3 года назад

Back in the 1970s I worked for a Lincoln-Mercury dealership and an old time mechanic told me that in 1958 some Ford engines came through with cylinder walls that were honed too smooth and the rings would not seat. He said Ford recommended sprinkling some Bon Ami down the carb to roughen up the walls enough that the rings would seat. I asked him if it worked and I don't recall his exact words but it was something to the effect of "Just don't overdo it."

@sswcustomsewing4276 3 года назад

@@TheScavenger71 I was told something similar from a retired Ford mechanic. I have done it with a tiny bit of bon ami on a engine that the cylinders were finished wrong and glazed it worked and it is still running just fine.

Pop the spark plugs out and soak the cylinders in trans fluid, fill them up and leave it for a few days or even a week then turn it over with the plugs out to blow out all the trans fluid then toss the plugs in and try it.. usually trans fluid will loosen up the piston rings because I’m sure it’s more the rings than it is the cylinder walls.. the rings gets ruck stuck and seized into the pistons and the only way to free them is to use an oil with high Detergents.. did this to an old skidsteer of mine and it worked wonders.. stopped it from burning oil and all

I usually do it before I try to turn the engine over the first time so nothing gets bent when you crank it. Just light tapping can break loose whats holding it. Use patience and some kind of lube.

Hammer the valves, if they move they will just open further and still be stuck. Easy to pull off the head and fix it right. So pull head, spray PBblaster, kroil, ATF, etc... from both sides. heat up valve, lightly tap closed. remove spring keepers, tap valve from head, clean up valves and valve guides. If pistons hit valves, you risk bending or braking them.

@DanTheMan454 3 года назад

@anonymous yeah put it up on jack stands. You need a second person to slow the rotation with the breaks. Any type of thin wax string will work, tie it around the pinion shaft and push it up against the seal on the shaft and then have a buddy help and slowly wrap it around untill it has an edge built up to the outside of the seal and then you just run it and it heats and melts the wax and seals it up. I thought my dad was just busting my balls untill I saw it worked!

@DanTheMan454 3 года назад

@anonymous whatever you can find that works without cutting the string or messing up the seal worse. I used the cap off a bic pen to push the string in up against the seal when I did it. I had a friend who was helping me with u joints about 2 years after I did it and he started pulling the string out and i yelled at him and then explained why there was string around it. If the bearings aren't bad on the pinion I'll usually use the wax string if it starts leaking. I have the micrometer and magnet set up to re gap the gears but sometimes it can be tedious stacking shims and tightening and testing to make sure there is the right amount of play where the gears mesh together.

Im just curious why you didnt look at the valves to start with.

@donellmuniz590 3 года назад

Cuz that would entail takin' the motor apart. This is a lot quicker. If it dont work, so what? It needed a rebuild anyway.

I bought an old 40's IH crawler for $50 in the 1980's. It started on gas, and after it was warmed up, you shut the starting valves and it ran on diesel. I had very old plug wires that had no covers on the spark plug section. My friend discovered that the magneto was still running when it was on diesel. He found out when his pecker was against the tracks, and his finger was too close to the plug wire. I saw a skinny spark go into his finger and he hit the ground holding his crotch. He still remembers that. The only engine that had zero compression in the back cylinders had a broken cam in it. I also love the old 71 screamers. I had an Oliver with a 4-71 in it. Just keep it filled with oil. Smiles!

Spray those valves with PB blaster and tap them and work them up and down until they are free .its probably rust from sitting on the stems and carbon.

A little known fact. Caterpillar had a part number for bon-ami, it was used to seat rings.

Detroit diesel engine service manual says to use it to scuff the liners

@russgier4409 3 года назад

Back in the 60s and 70s yes but the liners were harder then and pc engines were prone to heating and glazing cylinders because of the cast rings. This is a last ditch effort

Clyde Schwartz, maybe you could provide a link so we can see that ? Frankly I don’t believe it because Detroit pistons are tin coated and screwing around like that would scrub the tin off. I never saw any publication by GM advocate backyard cures such as this. Nevertheless, I apologize in advance if it is proven that this procedure is endorsed by DDA / GM.

@clydeschwartz2167 3 года назад

@@richardmaurer9002 I would have to dig my 2 cycle Detroit diesel engine service manuals out but it is clearly stated in the service manual if a new rebuilt engine will not seat the rings you are to use the bonami in them and only a small amount of it at a time

My flathead 51 fargo had stuck valves and was siezed. Knocked it loose,and played whack a mole with the valves. 60 psi i think was the highest compression. It fired and ran. Now it runs even better. On its 3rd oil change and i put 2 miles on it. 0f and it fires right up.

The way I have seen the BonAmi used in an old engine is dilute in gasoline and pour it in the carburetor. You could do it with a funnel and hose on your updraft carb.

@captainwhiplash 3 года назад

Make sure the piston is at TDC on the cylinder of the valve you’re working on and take the spring of so you can get something on the stem and twist it to loosen it up then pull it up and put air pressure in the spark plug hole to keep it in place to put the spring and keeper on and do the same with the other one and I’d bet that engine would probably purr along for much longer than you realize if you run it conservatively
