Dismantling And Inspecting
Bolinder 1051 Engine No 1001

Discovered In A Barn

ROUND 1


1. The Motor As Found Partially Dismantled By Persons Unknown For Inspection



Top

2. Close up of the engine identification plate, the number is noticeably shorter than my other but
I have no way of dating at present (If any one has information on this it would be very helpful).

Top

3. The flywheel had already been removed along with the hand start
mechanism leaving the main bearing housing partially removed.

Top

4. By removing the 8 14mm or 9/16 bolts and reinserting two of them in the spare threaded
holes the housing can be gently eased out of the crankcase and removed for inspection.

Top

5. The big end white metal bearing has virtually no white metal left and shows signs of scoring.

Top

6. The big end is probably worn to an oval shape to judge by the bearing wear.

Top

7. A view into the crankcase including 5 of the 6 22mm 7/8ths flywheel securing bolts (anyone got a spare about?)

Top

8. The rocker box top has a captive 22mm or 7/8ths bolt and will
lift off as it undoes 5 13mm or ½” bolts and rocker box lifts of.

Top

9. Remove the 5 22mm or 7/8 head nuts a bit at a time evenly in a diagonal pattern.
You may need to use a rubber mallet or block of hardwood and hammer to free the head.
(You could remove the injector first as the head will still be solid to work on at this point).

Top

10. View of the inside of the cylinder head note the apparently undersize valve and waterways
partially blocked by rust debris some of which had fallen out. This possibly led to overheating.

Top

11. An aerial view of the pushrod tunnels and combustion chamber contained in the piston.
The bore appears to be in good condition and was full of diesel to preserve it.
The piston appears to be stuck possibly sized.

Top

12. The motor and gearbox separated after removing 16 14mm or 9/16 bolts.

Top

13. View of the input side of the gearbox showing the planetary gears which enable reverse.

Top

14. View of the water pump drive pulley and crankshaft output shaft.

Top

15. A 3 legged puller trying in vain to remove the pulley, perhaps there is another way in?

Top

16. Removing diesel filter and associated pipe work to make space.

Top

17. Crossland 483 filter.

Top

18. All injector and governor removed as a unit showing cams and followers in good condition.

Top

19. Close up of the same showing the oil pressure release valve behind the large cast cam wheel.
