Problems with engine rebuild on 2012 glider

I cannot speak to your Detroit, but on my Cummins it was different rods. May be the same issue, and I forget what it was all about, something in regards to how they bolt to the crank... I would call Detroit and ask. To bad they do not have a site like Cummins for these questions and parts.

 

I don't know the difference in those part numbers but my rebuild kit does not match the serial number of the engine. Same block can be built for higher hp, and they can use a later model kit for improved parts.

 

We've had the same issues. We were told the parts these came with were marine application parts. These Clarke engines have been nothing but a PITA.

 

Don't see a big change in power, maybe smaller injections. HP is controlle by the ecm, tell them to leave it alone, the only thing they need to change in the ecm are the injector trims.

Sounds like you are working with people that aren't fully qualified at what they do. Get it right now or live with it till next oh.

 

I would start over. What good will a power box do if the pistons are not designed to stand the extra power.

 

The problem with adding more power is not the pistons but it needs the cooling nozzles, not included on lower HP models.
