October 8-12, 2012: The Kubota

This week I was able to take apart a 3.3l Kubota engine. I got to learn a lot about this engine. I hadn't adjusted valves in awhile so it was nice to go over that again. I also learned about balancing shafts. They are designed to "quiet" the engine. Really cool to see and learn about. I also got to see all the timing marks on all the different gears on the front of the engine. Makes a lot more sense how everything works.

  1. Good report Quinn. Were you successful in getting the pre-chamber out?

  2. No. I think if we got the glow plugs hot and had some starting fluid we could get them to pop out. Haha. They are really in there.
