ICD specific parts?

I don't mind my 2-53 to much. It starts right up when it's warm and only needs a small shot of either when it's cold.
It does have a decent amount of oil blow by from something which is quite annoying but for the 3 hours a year of runtime I put on it I can deal with it.

Lavoy your prices sound pretty steep. I think someone on here had a blower rebuilt for $500. Gasket kit is around $200 I think. I paid $130 each for injectors right from Detroit if I remember correctly. I never priced pistons or liners.
Look on agkits.com they have complete rebuild kits for a decent price.

i remember reading that there was about 19 million 2-53's produced.
the boat version blowers have the either tap too.

The catch with Detroit rebuild kits is all the stuff they leave out. No seals, bushings, etc. By the time you add in all the parts for a complete rebuild, it gets pricey. Keep in mind I am not doing an inframe or bandaid job, this is a complete machine shop rebuild.
The last blower I had done at Detroit was $850 almost 10 years ago. The quotes now are all past that. Some of the price is machining the end plates to accept the news seals.
