Got the motor put back together and fires right up and runs great! Almost ready for the water. #Ford #Lehman #Sailboat #Enginework #Valhalla #Boatprojects
yeah cool, I have often wondered if my 592E is starting quick enough, mind you mine was buried in mud & under 5 metres of sea water for 3 months when our boat was sunk for us. I emptied the oil pan, replaced the water with new oil, I had the injectors out but thats all to free up the motor & get it rotating smoothly, checking for oil pressure while turning by hand before attempting to start. It starts, runs & sounds exactly like yours, mine is built by EBRO, Spain in the 80's, an exact copy of the 60's & 70"s Ford 592E
Yeah these old motors don't start right up without glow plugs or cylinder preheat. I'd say that's one tough motor if it survived that! Yeah this is also an Ebro motor boat is an 83
Yeah the rockerarms do get lubed with oil but from passage ways underneath them so at idle they don't fling oil for a short time to do this but more rpm they might get messy
American Diesel Corp. Brian is your guy. They know EVERYTHING about F.L.

I think Trans Atlantic Diesel in Virginia deals with ford Lehman . They specialize in Perkins. But if any parts are a issue . They are a good source .
She really sound nice ..
Not supposed to have washers on the return/backleak rail.
Are the valve lifters etc under the valve cover sprayed with oil? How could you run it wo the valve cover?

@@sailinguntilvalhalla Thanks. I have an SP135 in my sailboat. It's big and intimidating.
Great engine, I'd take one in a heartbeat. Only intimidating at first they are actually very user friendly engine to work on and hard to screw up
