I notice you didn't say you changed the liners? If you re-used the old liners, did you hone them to break the glazing. What did you do for run in when you first started the engines up? These engines are not like a Cummins, Perkins, Detriot, Isuzu or Mitsubishi.
thank you for your reply..i had used new liners .....now i have solved the problem..it was the fuel pump timing..in the name plate in the engine block it say 22 deegres BTDC...and i try adjusting it to 24-26 BTDC.... and it works.....thank you anyway john...and i have tested at 100% load and had monitored the engines for a week now....thank you anyway guys...cheers
