things to know when going through a listroid
« on: March 14, 2014, 01:14:08 PM »
this is my second rebuild of a listroid . the first was about 12 years ago. a couple of things are hard to find without spending alot of time looking through the forum,are :head bolt tork, i found 165#'s  next rod bearing clearance .003, next cylinder squash [clearance] .045 to .055. this is all for the 6/1 listroid.
the way to do this i read is to, with shims to make up for the thickness of the  head., tork the head bolts down to 165# ? and lay a straight edge across the top add shims or remove shims until piston just touches ., the head gasket gives you the .045 to .055 clearance.
could all of these things  be put in the wall of knowledge as are the governor springs?
correct any thing that is wrong of course. 
getting old i forgot how i did my first one. in saying that it has over 8000hrs on it with only a timing gear and injection pump replaced.
but that is not the topic here as is finding the information in a easy access place all together on this forum.

i have Georges cd.
i ended up with .065 piston to head. thats with one gasket.
i'd have to have the head milled to get less.
and thanks dieselgman i'll set valves accordingly.
the rest of the engine is completed.
oh and i have .004 rod bearing clearance .,a little much but i think it will do.
26hrs of work. it will be worth it.
i'll be modifying for veggy oil when i get time.
George if you read this i'm still waiting for the thermostat housing,and idler bolts.
