As always top notch stuff on this channel even if Ross made a comment. 😂

I have enjoyed following along especially since Ethan is experiencing similar issues. It seems with these engines especially the turbo ones that there is big problems with sealing at the rear area of these heads. Maybe it is bolt with the oil passage drilled through that cannot be torqued down as far. I am sure you will make sure every protrusion is perfectly equal. I don't know if your engine has the aluminum head gasket available.

Another awesome video sir, I don’t remember now why but the last overhaul kit I bought through Agco and it was either Korves or Maibach I can’t remember now but one of them told me not to use the head gasket that you get from Agco and I bought one from them. But the Agco head gaskets have gave them some grief over the years

Never thought about the sleeves being "shimmed". Knew they existed, never used them, was taught to never use them. Was taught, face/deck the block, install the sleeves and if needed, then face/re deck the sleeves. Now it makes me believe that whoever did it last, thought they installed the shim and just never went back to double check, perhaps "rushed" to complete. Look at it this way Chris, "better safe than sorry". Well, I think the mystery is solved. The shims. Now, my only question is, is there enough "meat" on top to recut the counter bore for the sleeves? With that being a 2 piece wrist pin bushing, this is why I was taught "if you're in there, just go ahead and do it all right" yes, it's extra money but, it's an "investment". Take care of your equipment, it will take care of you. Not many understand that. As always, excellent video. Looking forward to seeing what the machine shop says. Cheers :)

not sure if the engine is fire ring or not but i would also fire ring the old gal put water filters on your tractors that will help with electrolysis

Chris, do the rod bolt holes need chanfered when using the new 12 point bolts. Something I remember my machinist saying when he did my 1750

i would get with arp fastners and see if they can not set you up with a set of head studs

What’s with the extra ring on the bottom of the piston

I green locktighted my cat D7 wrist pin bushings

HI CHRIS that camshaft can be fixed welded back up then tured back 2,spec it still can be used after it is fixed like it should be 😊😊 OMG 2 2 2O25

Did pistons and sleeves on my 310 along with cam bushings crank polish new bearings pump bushings

😊😊 HI CHRIS I would check ✔️ 😊 the cylinder head and block W a staright edge W,a feeler gauge it shouldnt be able 2 go under it 2 see if they needed 2 be shaved 2 be true and straight 😊😊 I say a cylinder sleeve is cracked unless it was a O ring leaking at the bottom of the cylindrr sleeve I dont think 😮😮 so OMG 2 2 2O25

Asking for a friend, do you farm to support your love for old Olivers or do you love old Olivers to farm? Both are addicting. You might need professional help.

Yes just my thoughts but why would you have shims under 5 cylinders not the other that is a big mystery . Hope it goes back together good and no problems again. I do have a question when you put that hydraulic valve on you ran 3 lines to it is that cause it need the third line for being a closed center system why I ask I have a jd out here and it close center it you let it sit then use the remotes for the loader it jerks act like it has air in system

Unsolved mysteries 😊

Maybe 5 dropped after it was put together

I wonder if it was passing by the broken shim

Great video Chris, very informative

I like your positive attitude. You found out your motor has STD’s and you still say everything’s gonna be OK. ❤ Now if only the gal down at the truckstop could have that same cheery outlook.

😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍

Chris, are the 2-piece bushings a bigger problem on the turbocharged engines than the N/A? Also, are the 283's in the 1650/1655 susceptible to the same issues as the 310's? Don't remember hearing anything negative about them.

I would not use that copper crap when you put on the new gasket. Think about it, if there was dirt or grime on the sealing surfaces you would clean it off as it would affect the sealing. Why would you add copper grime to the sealing surfaces and expect it to seal. I am old school and just use grease. Put that copper crap on a 1650 rebuild and the gasket failed to seal in a matter of hours. I replaced the head gasket and used grease and 5 years later still no problems. Thanks for all of your GREAT Oliver content.

Just heat up the sleave to 200* to find the crack.

To me the shims acted as a sort of gasket. The one without lost its,seal. Now maybe that one with the broken shim was by passing compression gas. So far no definite word. Hope no cracks between cylinders in block. The old fergason engines were very bad about that. The one two piece rust pin bushing that was loose was sticking time bomb.(obvious).

Certainly makes me scratch my head at whether it has a cracked sleeve, but the #5 sleeve being down makes me wonder. Anyways, enjoyed watching and good luck with it, hopefully not too much wrong with it. I hope you have a nice day!

Is there dowl pins... alignment pins between head and block? Stud bolts?

Not to say you found your problem but I would have number 4 checked on cracked too but you never know things can happen

Any guess how many hours it’s run since the last overhaul? Watching you do the tear down is educational. Thanks for sharing!

Ive seen them that way before. Ive seen Shimes get beat out before but you don't see any movement on the sleeves though

That oil looked a bit milky. Maybe it's just my screen but it looked kind of light colored.

Very interesting video really enjoyed watching it

Well that’s a mixed bag, encouraging on most everything except for not finding a distinct smoking gun-so far, though now I’m wondering if the machine will find anything either. Trying to compute what the effects of no .002” sleeve shim on #5 🤔. Like you stated, odd that the new gasket didn’t seal it at least for a short time. Hang in there, will be ready for the next chapter. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting video Chris, thanks

Boy that is a head scratcher, nothing really showing up with a crack so far. Sure looks like it might be that lower sleeve. But I am glad you can;t see a crack in the block. Will keep fingers crossed that the machine shop doesn't show a cracked block too.

We're there wrist pin problems with the 283, or was that more of a 310 problem?

48 mile drive to a show.... Get a bunch of tractors together like a convoy that would sound as fun as a drive across the Mackinaw Bridge. It will be neat to see this tractor as one of them. Upgrades.... Almost always a good thing.

Chris, overall it sounds like it was probably well worth tearing down and rebuilt. When you get done it should be like a brand new motor especially with the upgrades you are doing. How expensive is it to take it into the shop to have them do all the things that you want to have done? Kind almost sounds like those shims and those sleeves seems to be the issue like you pointed out. Thanks Michael

A clue just might be found, My Dear Watson. Catching a wrist pin bushing and the shim missing makes for a maybe cause and a good time to save pain later. Great video.

Sometimes homemade tools are the best

Don't forget to put a new cam Or have it ground , it will be off

At least it will be like a brand new tractor after an overhaul

Hey I'm first to the sadness of engine failure 😭😭 😂😂

Its nice agco still makes lines for Oliver. I had a 1976 MF 1085 and they no longer made the steel hydraulic lines for under cab so with little brazing and a couple adapters the steel lines became rubber doubt theyd last the 30 years the steel did but easier to get replacements.

You bring up a vilid point: always good to have 2 of every model of tractor just for reference while making repairs! Thanks for taking up along, good to see the 1855 getting closer.This thing ought to be a monster at plow-day!

Leaving the grill in? Is it because it is the "grill" of your dreams? :)

Need help ,I've adding a loader to my 950 jd compact, it has an auxillary port on side of rock shaft , will this supply the loader. You seem well knowledged in hydraulics.

Adding a power beyond? Speaking of hydraulics, do you have a link to your video where you worked on the 44 super 44 440 hydraulics ?

Another awesome and informative video sir thanks for sharing

Great video. Huge fan. You have helped me a ton. I really enjoy all of your videos.
