pre cup destruction

[cruisedeisel]

this is from my last truck, i had froze the engine the one day and then it sized on me the next.

good news, gonna put in new precups, bebs and a new head gasket.

do you guys think the damage on the top of the cylinder will affect anything???

I can't tell if you're joking here or not.

I'm with Drew. Nah, looks fine. I'd run it...

 

[Tapage]

No JB Weld in Downtown Canada ?

Liner protrusion looks broken also , I needed to re-read your post a few times.
I'm saying the block is past being used till major liner repair on that cylinder.
With that much $ spent just to get that liner repaired, I would think that that engine is now spare parts. Unlike another poor cup drop 3B.

So what boost and rad system were you using when this happened? when did the engine get overheated.

2nd report: crank damage

so it looks like i will have to send in the crank to be machined. *******

any boys from bc know where to get a decent price on a rebuild kit, precups and the 9 yards???

i run high boost, stock rad. i guess the boost is a little high. so much fun

 

[cruisedeisel]

Never over heated my truck

 

[Hulsty]

what number is high boost?

I have a line on a complete pre-tested 3B
As for Parts , try Radd Cruisers in Duncan .

This ones all done. Great guy, and if I needed to rebuild a 3B this would not be for sale any longer.

A 3B and much more ... requiring just a $NZ1000 starting bid on Trademe in New Zealand. (Trademe is our equivalent to eBay):

I've done that before on a truck that I wasn't going to keep due to rust issues. It ran fine for the year I drove it after doing just that. All I swapped was the liner and piston/conrod. A 3B isn't exactly racing type engines with high revs that need precision balancing or anything like that.

I kept the crank as is and swapped over an old OEM head from my current truck so I could keep the nickel head in the "keeper" truck.

cruiser_guy,
Sir your saying that the 3B liner has enough "meat" to have a liner removed and then pressed in used and works fine?

I had assumed that the used liner on the re-install without machining would of caused problems.seeing that it's 2-4 ton /tonne press.
I learn something everyday.

You have to remove the engine from the engine bay before pressing a newsleeve in. At that point, why don't you press 4 news sleeves and put new pistons rings ?

You better spend few more hundred dollars and reset the compression in all 4 pistons ?

This is my point of view.... and this is the way I chose when a precup fall in my piston few years ago.





PS : can you tell me how would you press-out a sleeve from an engine and press it back in another engine without compromising the integrity of the sleeve it-self ?

This is the kind of repair ''odds and ends'' that we did when we know the expiration date of the engine or the Cruiser (like cruiser_guy did)

I dunno man, swapping liners sounds pretty red neck to me. And im into some pretty red neck stuff... except banjos. I don't think the easy road is going to work out for you too well on this one. Just yank that motor and be done with it. Trying to save money and time with backyard fixes is a great way to waste both.
