You are correct air is drawn in by the downward stroke of the piston on a 4 stroke Diesel engine. Or on any engine as far as that goes. But there is nothing there to allow it to build vacuum. Pretty sure in my 30 yrs of building Diesel engines omg it’s getting closer to almost 40 yrs now. I...

Talk about noise you should hear a duel blower setup on a EMD locomotive engine. BTW they are even bigger then a 14:71 blower. In notch 8 under load you can not even hear yourself think Thanks Tom

I am wondering how you are getting air flow into the engine. Since a Diesel engine produces no vacuum at all due to the fact there is no throttle plate. A true Diesel engine has to have forced air. Thanks Tom

They are smart enough to stay away from us ic-man lol Tom

Brian Nice job why to work through a problem

Better make sure you install a deadman lever. You may need it at some point Thanks Tom

Can you use a vacuum table to hole it down. or 2 face 3m tape. I have had to use the 2 face tape method before on my mill for some Teflon pieces. You’ll want the 3M body molding tape it holds very well Thanks Tom

Hello Don’t forget it is possible to change C/R by the placement of the top compression ring. Also you can change the top of the piston to change the C/R Thanks Tom

Brian Your welcome yes there is a lot of information there. I hope some of it will help you in your quest. Thanks Tom

http://users.tpg.com.au/agnet/make%20piston%20rings.html Brain if this has already been posted to you sorry about the repost. If it has not then please take a look it has some of the most defined information about rings, pistons, cylinders, anywhere. Also one of the easiest ways to make rings...

Brian Going back through the post I seen were you stated you had honed the cylinder smooth so you could run orings. Is it possible you have taken out all the crosshatch and the bore is to smooth you will never seat rings if the bore is to smooth. Maybe it’s time to look at all the basics first...

Brian I set up my diamond on center line and no angle. Only when I set up the wheel at a angle I then also angle the diamond point downward at about a 8-10 degree angle

Our wipers here in the states are mostly made of rubber. Or have been replaced with rubber. There are some older units that still have felt Thanks Tom

God I wished I had the luxury of having CNC or have somebody repair the equipment I use that would be great. I would like to touch on the cleaning of mill or lathes. You might be correct to some extent about blowing metal in places it don’t belong. But don’t you think that brushing off the...

Put me in the ***** class I clean both my Lathes and my mill with compressed air at a reduced psi. As for the hacksaw yep I know how to use one but why would I use a hacksaw over a band saw or a portaband. I believe in letting my tools do the work for me. Work smarter not harder. Please excuse...

Alex Did you work for Bosh or Bosh America or was it another manufacturer Thanks Tom

So you are going to have studs in the lifter valley as on the original engine design. They were bolts in the original engine but everyone switched them out for studs. Very nice work glad to see a fellow mopar nut in the crowd Thanks Tom
