Assembling the Detroit Diesel

Описание: The Detroit Diesel 471 rebuild continues! In this video Adrian and I reinstall the oil pump then shim it to get the correct gear clearance / backlash. Adrian also makes up a new oil pickup to match the new deep pan sump.

After that we put the conrods and gudgeon pins into the pistons and install the piston pin retainers using a tool that doesn't look like a golf ball. Once all the piston pin retainers have passed a vacuum test the oil and compression rings go onto the pistons then the pistons get installed into the bottom end of the cylinder liners. The loaded liners then get installed into the block.

Last up we install the cylinder head back onto the block.
