My hybrid d15 diesel project tractor: I had to take the head off because when I got an exhaust valve unstuck, I must have knocked some rust off the head and I could not turn the engine all the way over anymore. I was surprised at how good I thought it looks. I was expecting to see cracks and sunken sleeves, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I will do some work on the head though. I believe this is the 4cyl version of the D19 diesel engine? Looking for opinions from the guys that deal with these diesels if this looks ok?     ------------- www.awtractor.com A&W TRACTOR 920-598-1287 KEEPING ALLIS-CHALMERS IN THE FIELDS THROUGH THE 21ST CENTURY |

That engine has definitely taken on some water in its past from the pitting on those pistons. I would at least hone the sleeves and check the bottom end out while you are at it.
