G'day all,
First time virgin poster here on this great forum although I have been reading for years now.
Hoping for any info to see if I can use the DOFA engine block to get me H9FA in my cab chassis up and running ?
I have both blocks here side by side and I cannot see any differences between them apart from the extra oil gallery on the H9FA for the common rail fuel pump.
I can see the DOFA block has all the drillings there but just plugged for the TDDI pump.
So at this point it looks like if I remove the plug and screw in the external tube from the H9FA engine I reckon I may have a goer.
Does anyone know of any other differences or any reasons I cant use this setup ????????????
My H9FA engine has pretty much a full length cylinder crack in the #1 pot, although everything else is in perfect condition.
The DOFA block is in almost as new condition and so was just going to lightly hone the bores to clean threm up and use all the left over bits from the H9FA but installing new std pistons, rings and bearings.
Any opinions out there ??
Thanks
