300+ rebuild

[mowerman]

your oil pan doesnt look any different than my 673 great deal on the new parts woohoo

This engine has ESI so bigger pan and three oil filters.  The deep pan won't clear my front axle.  It is 7" deeper sump.

Larry I remember back in the dark ages when I first started at the place that ran all R's and F models and one or two had the three filters. My 260 hp was made in 1980 and it had a cartridge filter I swapped it out for the filter setup off a 285 hp and a little bigger pan off another engine that was setting in the junk yard the junkers put a big hole in the oil pan when they pulled the engine that 300 should do you very well I drove an R with a 285 hp that I in chassis over hauled and it did pretty good in that triaxle dump

WTF.....

So I pull a liner kit out and start to inspect the pieces (liner, piston, rings, pin).  I take it over to the block to test fit liner.  It slips right down into block!!!  😲😲😲😲😲

Apparently they sold me std OD liners.  🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Guess that is why I got that itchy feeling when a "new guy" took my order.  Yup, got screwed over.  The box is marked "no return if open".  They better!!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone decipher the part number?  It isn't at +.020 liner that's for sure.

 

Ugh ...time for a phone call monday morning.  Dammit anyway.

So would P2 be only two thousands?  terry

[Joey Mack]

Yes

[Freightrain]

Ya, now I will find out .020 is NLA.....  Because he looked up the wrong part.  He said he was only there a few months and was a cumapart guy.  He was supposed to check with his boss, but someone screwed up.  Not me.

Good news.  Local Mack says full kits are available in .020 liners.

Pt number 215SB196CP2

$3355 cash over the counter.  

Now I will pull the last 5 liners and confirm before ordering.

So, this part number is incorrect.  I need to confirm what brgs as I told him the crank was std.
