I pulled the air box covers off the left bank today. Some oil came out. No water. No mayonnaise, just oil.

It’s temperature...I almost positive. That is the side where the water leaked down between the liner and block into the air chamber when I first tore into it. I also saw over 200 degrees on the dash gauge right when I lost power and broke down. I’m hoping the O-rings will tell the story when...

Update 1/18/20: Cranked the motor over with a big socket. Found 4 liners cracked all on the right bank at the base of the air chambers. Sucks but at least I spotted them now. Everything else is removed and ready to order parts.

Awesome. Dimetalmiki is in the market for one.

Very nice.

Tracer, is Sonny’s truck an M211 or M135?

MrMikey, So far liners are not scored at all. Beautiful crosshatching.

You're not jamming anything...any help is much appreciated.

Silverstate55, I have not checked that yet. My understanding is that the oil cooler failure would more than likely put oil in the water because of the pressure difference. The radiator fluid was green when I drained it. I'm focused on getting everything clean, get the liner clamps made, then...

Update 1/5/20 Got the other head off today. Now both heads are off and I can start cleaning the heads and block. No obvious seal failures that can positively identify the source of the engine failure.

I don’t want to talk to you anymore.😩

Did that and didn’t see anything that stands out. No evidence of head cracks either.

Update 1/4/20: Used the head lifting rig I fabricated and got the head bolts broken loose. Lifted off the right head with minimum issues. At least I could use the tire crane to lift and lower the head off the motor.

Snowrac, I bought a tool that basically is spring loaded and goes in the air ports so you use the piston to push it out. That’s the plan. Tracer, I will look at all that stuff but I’m not interested in tearing it all apart. If it looks god from the bottom side, it’s staying left alone. Once...

I acquired the needed specialty tools. I’ll be pulling the head this weekend and possibly the liners as well...at least one bank.

Boats etc are good to go since they aren’t on roads/ highways. Funny how they are still very popular to this day.

Tracer, I contacted diesel kings. They don't do engine work on Detriots. Thanks anyway for the lead.

Anyone here have the specialty tools for pulling liners, with the piston still in, the head alignment pins and the fuel line wrench? I am looking to borrow/rent since the cost adds up fast.

Mad jack, It’s going...slow but with some progress. Let’s move to my HEMTT thread regarding this project so we don’t derail this thread any longer.
