I cleaned the valves and seats but did not resurface them.What would a total rebuild cost, considering I would probably need to go either 30 or 40 oversize, needing new pistons and rings all new bearings.

I think it should be around 100 across the board. anywhere from 30 in 1 all the way to a wopping 75 in the best. The crank journals and bottom end look good but I did not mic them.All said and done I put it back together and fired it, it runs good and welds good, but I don't understand why it runs Ok but compression is on the low to very low side. I removed the pistons and honed the walls best I could, They are not a total mess but have a few lightly pitted areas. Mine had a severely stuck motor that I got freed up. So while all F models are basically the same engine, there can be subtle differences which make interchange very difficult. Then just when you think you've got the right mix all figured out, and swapped over, you might find that one gear set's helix has a different cut. and crank gear, which may not fit the stub. So possibly when a distributor ignition engine is found to lack the provisions needed to drive the Lincoln type Mag and governor, it will require the Lincoln front. As I mentioned earlier, the Lincoln crank probably uses a bolt and nut arrangement at the flywheel mounting flange, while Hyster probably uses a bolt and a threaded flange - no nut.Īlso there are various front arrangements, which are tied to using certain cams and their respective oil pump drive gears. There are various crankshaft rear flanges, and front stubs. Den, if I',m reading you right and F163 is not the same across the board, there are variations.Right.
