A progress report on Mr. Deutz
As I reported some time ago I "adopted" a seized Deutz engine some
time ago with the understanding it would certainly need TLC and might well be a sinkhole of money. The good news is, Mr. Deutz is now a dismantled pile of parts in my garage. The crankcase and crank are OK: one galled rod journal will definitely need turning, which means they all will, but it's standard size so there's room there. The heads are OK as are two of the four cylinders. Sure enough, one of the pistons was so badly seized I wound up cutting the cylinder off the piston with an air abrasive cutoff saw. The cam and lifters were scrap, of course. The crank is going in for Magnaflux, turning and prep tomorrow. If cracks are found-which I doubt- or my miking is bad Bad News could still occur, but depending on the cost of the pump rework and miscellaneous parts Mr. Deutz may be blowing smoke again for under a thousand dollars, and if I can get a pair of used serviceable jugs and slugs, maybe a few hundred. I'm starting to thiink about mounts, transmission bellhousing, and stuff like that now, along with what I am going to do for heat-probably a South Wind or Webasto heater. This may turn out okay after all! |

No, saw no reason to. The book is VERY detailed...and for the price,

Re: A progress report on Mr. Deutz
I told you the cylinders would be bad. I strongly advise against the use of
"used serviceable jugs" but it's your money. On air cooled engines, it is understood that the cylinders are a maintenance item.

It's going to be an expensive project no matter what, night as well do it right. A TJ would be the best home for it overall, I think. I haven't taken pictures...I might, but where would i put them? |

Re: A progress report on Mr. Deutz
There are lots of free places, I like WebShots for a free site.
I would imagine anyplace that will let you load for free and your viewers don't have to join. Oh, and a popcorn machine in the lobby would be good. Maybe some cold beers.
