May not understand because there is conversation about Allis Chalmers and Bobcat. The Bobcat 225 and 230 do not share the same block. According to Bobcat parts manual they have different part numbers plus the 230 block has cylinder sleeves. The 225 does not. I am saying they are completly different based on that information.

There is 6.1 cubic inches difference, I have no idea whether that is the only factor in the hp difference. Wouldn't doubt it but pure speculation on my part.

Further research shows both 225 and 230 use the same injection pump.

Thanks
That clears it up a bit.

Ted explains turning up an injector pump in context in what is IMO very worth watching. Being turbo-equipped, the big Ford will surely gain more with more airflow at PTO, but he goes a bit beyond a 10% increase. Note that power is measured at a constant (PTO) rpm.:

This isn't hot-rod stuff where you push torque peak up with cam timing and incremental flow improvements to gain hp at//by higher rpm, it's about a diesel that gets plenty of air at any rpm but burns only what fuel is metered by the pump/governor to keep rpm/power up to demand in 'x'-gear/range.

Speaking of parts

I too am curious why new rods are needed. Rods can be resized. Lots cheaper than buying new

My best guess, the bearing end of the rod is burnt blue from the lack oil which would change the property of metal.
The engine needs torn completely down and the components need checked for damage and wear. Without seeing the damage it's hard to advise what needs replaced and what can be reused. Also might want to check and see if there are any reman components offered for the engine.

Just a thought, but he might be $$$$ ahead ordering a short block from one of the reman folks - they are out there.

Can't find anything but full replacement motors in the $4500 range.
