I have a Ford 1710 compact tractor with a 3 cylinder Shibaura diesel engine built between 1983 - 1986 (ID: XUL 00704; Model: AL3136; Unit: 305B; Engine: SN# H843 18754)

The engine threw a rod through the side of the block. I got a used block that was mag tested, new crank, oil pump, bearings, etc. and we can not get the oil pressure above 27psi (spec is 37-57).

We have consulted with numerous people for some reason that would account for the low pressure. We have tried everything anyone mentioned... so I think we've covered the obvious.

Do you know anyone with experience rebuilding these engines? This is the third engine in this tractor and I'm wondering if there might be something unique about this engine that we don't know about. We had the Ford repair manual which was helpful, but not on this issue.
