IT'S ALIVE!!!! Well, it was actually alive about three weeks ago but I've been too busy to sit down and post about it. Got it all back together and started without much trouble, but by chance just happened to discover something that MIGHT have been the cause of the whole issue... After I got...

Thanks! Making some progress. I got the intake and exhaust manifolds on. Turbo oil feed and drain lines on. Exhaust pipe hooked to turbo. Pushrods and rockers on. #5 and #6 rod bolts are torqued back down. I had taken out #5 piston and liner to check the block for cracks. Hopefully tomorrow I...

More pictures... And a bonus pic...

Well, it's been way too long but I'm finally putting the engine back together. I got frustrated with it and lost motivation to work on it, but I have some projects I need the crane for and dad wants it out of his shop. I decided to replace the piston and sleeve with a used take-out. I used the...

Mine is a Continental. Do you know if the engines made by White had the same issue? Does anyone have any thoughts on adding a coolant port to the rear freeze plug to increase flow, and possibly help this cooling issue? Help or hurt? How to plumb it? I was thinking about a high temp thread...

Thanks for all the info and experience! I really appreciate it! The more I research welding or brazing cast, the more I think it's probably going to end up cracking again around the weld, which will make things worse than if I didn't weld it at all. I even talked with an experienced engine...

I knew I had come across something like that somewhere. Looks like the exact same issue. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?61664-Guess-I-m-looking-at-head-gaskets&p=823180&viewfull=1#post823180 I'll probably try to fix it the same way he did and see how long it lasts. It is a 'TD'...

Hmm... How bout now?

Well.... I got the piston and liner out today..... The good news: I found out where the antifreeze is leaking from. The bad news: It's coming from a crack in the block behind the liner. Makes me wonder if the melted piston and cracked block could be related... So now I have to figure out...

Oh, and I have a couple take-out pistons coming from Searls84. Thank you! Thanks! They're awful proud of those! I wonder if ARP has ones that would work for a comparable or better price. I may contact them about it...

I agree swapping the piston would be better. What I was trying to ask is, why do you think the rings might have an issue? Too much heat? The liner doesn't show any damage. If I pull the piston and carefully check the rings and they appear okay, would it be a bad idea to put the original rings on...

I got the other head pulled yesterday and the other pistons are fine. The head gaskets didn't seem to show any obvious signs of leaking compression or antifreeze, so I still don't know for sure how the antifreeze got into the oil. The only other issues I've found so far is the #6 exhaust valve...

So I started getting antifreeze in my oil. Here's the thread on that: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?162556-Water-steam-from-crankcase-vent-Small-amount-of-antifreeze-in-oil&highlight= I finally got time to start working on it, and got the rear head pulled today. I should have the...
