Komatsu D31P-16 Engine rebuild.
The cost on the head was #345.00.I can't remember the cost on the gaskets. It was a pain to go back in and retorque the head bolts after I had run it a few hours but I did not want to run the risk of not retorqueing. Sure made a different in starting and the power. -

Komatsu D31P-16 Engine rebuild.

D3B questions, little help needed

D3B questions, little help needed
The D3B has two steering valves located under the seat. There is a roller bearing on the end of the valve that is known for going bad. It dows not push the valve all of theway in to release hydraulic pressure on the clutches. Check this first. To adjust the brakes first disconnect the lever...
