    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580ck Gonna try and start from the beginning but want to say I appreciate all input. 580ck 188 D motor. When I bought it, the rad was leaking and seemed to not be running on all cylinders. I changed the rad, bought a used one and installed an external cooler to save money. Also installed a...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580ck coolant Pulled the injector from the second cylinder from the fan and the coolant stopped blowing out the rad. That cylinder had work done to it before and there are chunks out of the head at that cylinder. Might be a hairline crack in the head? The piston and sleeve were also changed on...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580ck coolant Upon removing the head bolts, I noticed they were not very tight. Found out my torque wrench is defective. There was coolant all across the head. So I assumed my problem was due to the defective wrench and bought a new one and changed the head gasket. Well seems I am back to...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580ck I put the new/used rad in because the one that was in it was leaking. I changed the head gasket because it was leaking, coolant in the oil. Both were changed last year and had no issues until working the machine this summer. The problem did not start right away but after maybe 40 hours of...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580ck I suspect the torque wrench I used when changing the head gasket may have been out of calibration. My question is: Can I just tighten the head bolts to the right specs without changing the head gasket and see if that was the issue or do I need to change the head gasket? Thanks

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    oil in coolant The machine came with the rad with the cooler at the bottom of the rad but I replaced it with one with no cooler. I added an external cooler so is not possible for the hydraulic oil to get in the rad. Thanks

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    580 ck To get back to my issue, not sure if I posted that there is oil in the rad. It blows out the rad cap almost as soon as I start the engine. No coolant in the oil which is what I had before I changed the head gasket. As stated earlier also, machine shop checked the head for warpage. Maybe...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    head or block? So a simple straight edge on both the block and head will be sufficient enough to tell me if either is warped? I know the head can be resurfaced but what if the block is warped? Am just confused that before changing the head gasket, the coolant was going into the oil pan and now...

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    I only had the head checked at a local machine shop, he used a straight edge.....If it indeed warped and I get it resurfaced, do I use a "thicker" head gasket? Thanks for the quick reply.

    580ck coolant blowing out rad cap

    Changed the head gasket last year after having coolant in the oil. Now the coolant is blowing out the rad cap, when idling. This is with the thermostat in and after working the machine for 1/2 hr. There is a loss of power. Taken the thermostat out and coolant does not blow out the cap until I...

    machinest I am going to take it to the machine shop down the road and see if he can remove the weld and salvage or put new threads on the existing rod. My supplier does not seem to have the rod I need. I will update once the work is completed. Thanks for all the input guys....

    pictures I am adding some pictures to better explain my question. I am trying to get away from welding. Had the person not welded this one on, I would not be in this situation. The first picture shows the welding. The second picture shows the part mix up. The third picture shows the set up used...

    I am replacing the steering ball joints and found that the previous owner had welded the ball joint to the power steering rod. That move might cost me an extra $200 to replace the rod. I found a used one but my parts guy sent me the wrong one. He sent me A44642 when it should of been A35873. He...

    not froze I cracked the line going from the tank to the fuel filter it is running there. I cracked the line going into the fuel pump and there is diesel running there.

    thanks I did end up getting one but that one is way more detailed. Appreciate it. I managed to get the head gasket changed and got the ole girl fired up. I did notice the first injector was not operating properly. While letting her warm up so we can retorque the head bolts, I ran out of fuel. I...

    freeze plugs Pulled the valve cover and think I located the freeze plugs. It is hard to tell if they are the problem? Something I should be looking for? How do I test the frost plugs? Do I pressure the rad(10psi) and should see bubbles coming from the frost plugs? I noticed another problem...
