Just to satisfy my never ending curiosity and facination with diesels, I have heard that many of the Ford 3.3l diesel engines have undergone an in frame overhaul, including new liners. Now I have many questions but have been unable to locate information or videos on an in frame overhaul. I have overhauled many 350 Chevy and 300 Ford engines by pulling the motor and overhauling using an engine stand, so I am very familiar with overhauling motors. Dad had to replace the 350's in his 26 ft tool truck every year and it was my job to have a rebuilt motor ready for install when needed. My questions for the in frame are how to replace the liners without a press to remove and install, machining crank if rod bearings are worn, crank removal, and how to replace the front and rear seals. I am having trouble seeing how this can be done without removing crank, and how to remove the crank without splitting the tractor. Has anyone done this and can enlighten me as to the procedure and possibility videos. I am really interested as I can see an overhaul in my future.
