Please help out here. Before I advertise this engine and reverser complete, I need to get an idea of value. Ran, but was having injector problems. Had them rebuilt, would not start, gave up and am repowering oc46. Thanks fellas!!!! Tim  Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Why won't it run? It seems like, after going through the work you have so far, it would be cheaper and easier to do whatever it takes now to get it running, rather than repower it.

Tim, I would not repower, the 3cyl diesel was a good engine and if you repower you will take away from the value of your OC-46.<P>If you do sell the engine, getting it running could be the difference of night and day of what you will be able to get for the engine.

The motor just barely ran when I got it! Smoked from to much fuel. Rebuilt the injectors bringing the pop off pressure into specs. Must of been to much for the pump to handle. Way too much money to rebuild the injection pump. I'm not interested in the OLIVer name value, just the fact that it will move dirt dependabally. This is not a easy repower, but is giong well as I have a real good International source of parts. Tim

Well shoot, can't do the repower after all, the shaft to the transmission out of the scout clutch is just too much to do! Guess will go to plan B and either sell or part out unit and also the oc3, had to pull her to start her. I give up! Thanks for all the help fellas!   Tim:(

Hey fellas, before I rebuild this injector pump, what should the compression be in the cylinders and what tool do I need to check it. Rent, or borrow or make? It ran, just not that good. Thanks    Tim

Hey Tim, start a new topic with this one. It's an interesting question and I'm afraid it will get lost in the old topic.

Compression, a good rule of thumb is 350 psi. On this is, "It does not run good," is this at idle or at any speed. Do you have a Model D or DB pump? Also on this compression thing, have you thought of a cylinder leakage test? What was the setting on the injectors before you changed them to the correct setting.

Hey John, the pop off pressure was so low that when they tested them at the injection shop, they were afraid they were shot. However, they got them back into specs. Ran like too much fuel all the time, white smoke, bad at all throttle positions. Pump is a model dgvcc. The pressure of injectors was set to 2250psi. Since I fixed the injectors, now no fuel from pump. Just want to check to see if I have to ring this engine too!  Thanks Tim
