Some of you may remember the oil burning problem I had with the original engine in my truck. I finally gave up on it and got a remanufactured 235. I installed it over the long weekend and it fired right up. I ran it at about 2000 RPMs for the first 20 minutes with oil for diesel engines in the crankcase. No leaks anywhere. The timing was practically dead-on, too. Afterward, I set the timing and the idle and it's beautiful. A world of difference from the old one. I also had the flywheel resurfaced and got new clutch disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing. All I have to do is figure out my clutch adjustment and I can drive.
