    Bought a M929A2 today, I changed the oil before starting & found 2 Quarts of anti-freeze; assume blown Head Gasket?

    If you’re missing the big canister, order a ken spencer full line and filter kit. Best money you’ll ever spend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Red circle is a dinky late mwo when they eliminated the fender mount big canister fuel filter, added that and kept the original water separator mounted post lift pump there in yellow. Then later mwo came out to remount canister filter in fender and eliminate that stupid lawn mower in line filter...

    I gotcha covered! If you do a cooling system pressure test, slide a clean pan under the oil drain plug and pump her up (I can’t remember, I THINK 15 psi is factory cap pressure) and see if any coolant comes rolling out and pressure drop. It could even be a cracked head on the air compressor...

    Also, if at all possible I’d recommend not driving it. Coolant is kryptonite to wear surfaces, quickly wiping bearings out, once it emulsifies into the oil it will take 3-4 oil changes @ 5 gallons per change to get the water percentage level low enough in the oil to safely drive Sent from my...

    Don’t waste your time with any snake fluids in the cooling system, it ruins things; I did a head gasket on my 8.3 and sent the head off for a clean up and resurfacing job. All in my front yard with basic hand tools and lots of elbow grease. Lower output 6cta engines are known for head gaskets...
