Well thought ill give you all an update to whats been happening. After I removed the cylinder head i cound see damage to the upper surface area of pistion No2 so i pulled out the piston and could see where a chunk on piston was missing about the size of your thumb nail as well as half the upper commpression ring missing.
I was going to go with just 1 new liner & piston and do a quick fix but decided not to instead a full engine over haul was done.
I had 4 new pistons/rings & liners fitted.
New Big end bearings & mains.
Crank was linished was there were a few small burrs found.
Replaced all seals.
Also to be on the safe side I got all 4 injectors over hauled and while at it got the injectior pump over hauled.
So now i have the peice of mind that the old truck will be reliable for a few more years.



does any one here happen to know from past experance where i can get the parts i need from? looking at all options from replacing the offending piston/sleve + bearings to the full over haul kit!!
