ejb17 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 For the experts: I had a liner oring go bad on one cylinder and was lucky enough to find it while doing a pan gasket. Tractor had not been worked in a long time and I had brought it in the shop to do the gasket. Well number 2 had a drop of green hanging from the liner so we pressurized to 10 lbs and it was leaking steady. We got the head off and pulled all the liners and its a good thing because the rest of the liner orings were looking pretty bad. Our questions are these: Are the kits from All States Ag good? Local machine shop has a long lead time and is over 100 more per hole? Looks like we have to do the normal cleaning plus a little finesse work where the orings first start into their machined section of the block? Is that considered normal? Everything else checks out great and the tractor was running great for the limited time we used it before this. It literally started instantly and never smoked unless you throttled up too fast.

bitty Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I think their kit is a reliance... I've had poor luck with reliance kits. Try Jessie at restoration tractor sales, Lancaster pa. Not sure if he has anything available but he has quality kits for the 414 etc ones (717)682-6263 @Super A_sepa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 HyCapacity offers an engine overhaul kit for the D360, their engine overhaul kit is made by Absolute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robinson Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Just put together a 766 this week. That scuffed a couple pistons and got water in oil. Used a kit from Riley Tractor Parts. Parts looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had any issues with the one from Jessie yet. Both 436 had seized up within two years. I thought it was possible overheating but after hearing about other people having problems I am sceptical of them at this point. Both of the 8.3's were installed at a local truck garage and the kid who did it is excellent on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a Reliance kit in my 312, got a better gasket set then instead of the Reliance, it ran sweet. It was a Reliance kit I put in my 360 too that was good too. Used bearings from a better supplier as well I think. This was before we used any Absolute kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I think still sits in storage. My guess is pistons in sleeves but haven't had time to investigate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
