44 H #1 piston

Jarhead · Dec 7, 2008

here a pic of block of engine that came unglued any comments

How did you get it out? Is the block useable? Hal
PS: Must have used a big hammer.

Brian2 · Dec 7, 2008

A little JB weld and she'll be good as new !

Jarhead · Dec 7, 2008

all except piston was in the base...picked piston right out

Mike Farmer · Dec 7, 2008

yep JB weld. Seriously as long as the damage is only to the liner and NOT to the block I would just fit another liner and piston. Might be a very good idea to diagnose the cause and fix that. Assuming your ends are ok I would suggets that you simply????? had a piston failure. It? happens. MTF

looks to me like that block is toast.you have the liner in pieces on the table and there is holes in the block. that bore may be out off round.that is machine shop work.another block is the cheapest way out and the correct way to fix it.that is why i dont buy painted or over hauled stuff because you dont know what your getting, as this would be called a patch job.

Numbers on block can anyone give me info on meaning DE 1-22-L EU3HM2282Z6
1BB

and what type piston are they CAM -Z16
374313-RIB

Thanks

Oh, that piston really shattered. I'm replacing the pistons and sleeves in Dad's W-4 (same engine as a H). It had a damaged piston when Dad bought the tractor. As long as the block is not damaged, you should be able to put in new pistons & sleeves.

Where did you get the last series of numbers, never seen that many at one time? Could those be UBHM istead of EU3HM? Im thinking a power unit engine. 1-22-L is a casting code - Jan. 22, 1942. Should be a number in front of DE.

Jarhead · Dec 7, 2008

left side of block has DE with 1BB under it in middle of block above dip stick is 1-22-l and the serial # on right is EV3 or B HM2282Z6. Also see after cleaning area for numbers block is painted yellow.

Well if I'm seeing things correctly it seems that you have a hole in your block. Do yourself a favor and find a used block. They made about a zillion H's so a good used block should be pretty easy to come by. If you try and cobble it together with JB Weld or some other cure all you are always going to be wondering if it is going to fail. You have to tear it down to do your overhaul anyway so why not get a good block and put it together the right way. I know it might save you some money now, but I've learned over the years that sometimes cheap fixes can be pretty expensive. Kind of like cheap seed corn. You feel pretty smart when you plant and then you feel like an idiot when you harvest it. Good luck.

Best solution is another used block. Second choice would be to have a repair sleeve installed in the broken hole and then rebored to accept a new sleeve.

As a last resort, if there are no cracks extending down into the crankcase area, this engine would probable run by just installing a new sleeve with sleeve retaining Loc-Tite and adding cooling system sealer before running The engine.

Hmmm...Seems like you havea 44 H with a 42 Power Unit engine in there. Im not up on all the numbers on PU enignes to start with, but the BHM is the serial number for the engine, dont know where or what the EV could be in the number for, any body? Also not sure on the Z6 suffix but if it were tractor related, it would mean low speed gears on the chassis number, not the engine number.
