Well got my Yannie up and running and have some stuff (I HOPE) I will not need again. I dont know if this is allowed but I have a like new Diesel compression tester, a adapter to fit a YM240D I got from Hoy, and a homemade sleeve extractor that I made on my lathe that works good. $50 for the lot...

Lots of them needing TLC, adopt:a1:

The busted piston was in the front cylinder and the bent rod was in the back cylinder and your right the back could have been done buy coolant but the broken head I believe was cracked originally by ether but whatever the cause I will not use ether ever to start my yannie:myopinion: Oh well its...

Nope in fact I got robed on my way home:angry3: Dam fuel price bout bankrupted me:puke1: But sure was nice to get home.:wink:

Well I am back and I found a mess I tore into the eng again and found 1 piston with broken lands, a bent rod so I went all the way to inframe rebuild, sleeves, pistons, rings, rod bearings, new head, valves. I have attached pictures so someone else will think twice about using ether. Also found...

Well the day after we left home it started snowing and within one week it went down to 10 deg below zero :dancing: Could not have picked a better time to leave, no gold to talk about yet but flour gold & still looking for the pay streak:tiphat: Oh well the beat goes on & on & on:a1:

Welllllll we have had a long fall this year and the weather is ust starting to turn to 20 degree nights and +30s in the daytime with more drops forecast for end of next week and when it sets in it can go down to -15 to -20 and stay there for extended periods:cuss: and its not fer this old man...

Well I have to admit I have been goofing off getting ready to head south to AZ for the winter:tiphat: but I have the Yanney back together all but putting in antifreeze then firing it up, check valve setting, and retorque head bolts but it will have to wait till spring. SNOW forecast for Tuesday...

Well bit the bullet and ordered the new head plus parts from Hoye and should get them first if next week, dam them heads aint cheap but it eliminates ANY questions or doubts about the head. :whistling: This ugly old Yannie ought to run fer a couple of years at least:noevil:

I have been looking at hoye and they sell one with most of the parts which I will probably buy but not to sure about the lower chamber removal and hate having to buy new lower chambers also at $40+ ea. but it would cost me to have the old ones removed & one may not be serviceable. I guess its...

Well more bad news, had it magnafluxed and it has a cracked head next to the lower combustion chamber so new head I guess:pat: Whats the best way to decarbon the top of cyl wall? What is proper way to remove lower injector combustion chamber? just a brass drift and hammer? Questions, Questions &...

The block face seems to be good but have not got the straight edge on it yet but maybe tomorrow, I am going hunting for a head shop tomorrow and have them shave it as little as can be done. The head had leaked enough to seize the head stud in the hole and had a heck of a time getting the head...

Well that did not last long:pat: Ran the ym for about 1/2 day then parked it for the night, next morning tried starting it and it was a real struggle but it sorta ran BUT!!! gray smoke & missing A BUNCH!!! thought i might have broke a ring. Pulled the head today and found the rear cyl had blown...

Had to replace the pump as previous owner had played with the internals A BUNCH :14_6_12: (still not real sure...

Diesel in crankcase :mrgreen: Thanks mark you made my day, I will swap them out, drain & refill CC and see how it goes, I never have messed with injector pumps but I am used to working with close tolerances in the machine shop. BUT I will leave it to the pro,s. Thanks once again & God bless. Bill D
