Head for Sale, no valves, missing 4 valve guides... Make reasonable off, very heavy so shipping will be expensive

Is that supposed to say 350 instead of 850? Should try
to keep your For Sale adds in the classified. Since you
do not have prices in mind you could be a little less
direct and just say tell me what these are worth I want
to sell them, this kind of ..skirts.. the forum rules. Even
though you had you hands all over one the last couple
weeks not everybody knows a Continental 193 diesel is
from a IH Farmall/ Utility 350.
 
So the diesel engine cam and drive gear failure went beyond the gears and included the valves crashing into the
pistons? and the 350UD is history?? Jim
 

Let's hope not Jim... Is that even a possibility. I have a spare head and i didn't think the valves were anywhere the piston at Top of stroke
 
They are likely to crash. pull the valve cover and look at push rods!
If some are bent the piston/s smashed the valves upward!! Look at the head (for sale) and it will likely be a
flat surface where the valves are! the compression ratio does not allow for an open valve at TDC! If the valves
all are at their normal height, (even with bent pushrods) you might have dodged the bullet. Don't take it apart
to look until checking the valve spring height for normal! The valves likely hit the pistons flat to the
pistons and may not be bent! Good luck Jim
 
If I was working on an engine, I would not sell any "spare" parts until I was done working on it. I particularly would not sell any hard to find or expensive parts until I was done.

Thank Jim and Jim

I just removed the pushrods and have two bent intake push rods, cyl.1 and cyl 4
 

Now that I have rocker arms off and pushrods removed I will pressurize Cylinders to see if I'm sealed. Hopefully the pushrods took the hit
 
I'm with Jim I would not be selling any parts till I had it running. The heads are expensive and much cheaper to find out your head is good first. Also the new radiators are not the quality of the older ones so if that one is good I would hang on to it.
 
Not so much so much a miracle, just a good thing. I drove a 56 Ford 292 2 ton truck 4 miles with a dropped valve. The keepers had broken and the spring and retainer were pushing up on the rocker arm. I kept the engine speed near mid Rpm all the way home. The valve never got very far into the the cylinder before it was whacked back up. when I shut it off I had it in 4th gear and side stepped the clutch as I turned the key. This stopped the engine in a half turn or so. Again fortune was shining in that the piston didn't let it fall into the cylinder. I got new wedges and a retainer from a junk engine, then turned the engine (making sure it was on an up stroke} and grabbed the valve stem with vice grips. I fed a foot of cotton rope into the cylinder and rotated the engine to hold the valve closed. Using a lever spring compressor I reinstalled the retainer and keepers. After adjusting the valves, I started it and by golly it was good to go. We sold the truck after another year so I don't know its end game. My dad was a non believer till I showed him the crooked spring on the rocker. I believe this will also be operational with new or good used gears. Make sure the front cover is not near worn through. Locktite is your friend! Jim
 

Great story Jim

Looking the hydraulic pump I am pretty sure that cam gear nut came off long ago and fell into the pan. The old man probably didn't know he had a problem for quite a while. I'm sure he parked it when the hydraulics quit working. Then fast forward to last Friday when I bought it. Saturday I started working on it. If only off taken the hyd. Pump off I would have noticed a loose cam gear and wasted hyd pump gear. Either way I would of had to remove to front cover to fix it. The front only has a slight scratch in it. Fun times here at Nash Ranch
 
Its interesting the nut came off. The IH engines I have worked on all had the flat washer that is bent over the nut to prevent that or in some cases a cotter pin through the bolt. Did continental not used them
or someone in the past decide it wasn't needed. Lack of them is costly.

Charlie... this is the cam gear nut that I found in the pan. There is no retainer plate or cotter pin holding it on
