    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    So does anyone know where I might find a Case G188D block? I should probably start a new thread with just that question hey?

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Quick question guys......should I be able to see holes in my injectors? There still in the head that I took off. They stick out proud of the head and I hope I didn't mess them up dragging the head around when I removed it. I was not aware and it was heavy and awkward getting it off and out...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Did my homework on the "sodium silicate". Thanks packratc. Been thinking about it all, I'm thinking I'm going put all your guys ideas together and see how many more hours I can squeeze out of her. Gonna pressure wash the block (in frame with crank) real good and focus on the cracks. Gotta get...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    packratc, Ya...it was a too much water too fast. I'm sorry but I don't know what "glass the block" means. I'm up for anything.

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    I just looked at the pics after the post and they don't do it justice. You have to zoom in to see the cracks on the picture showing all 4 holes and the 1st picture showing the bottom of the hole.

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Well.....I've been waiting for the weekend to get the liners out and inspect the o-rings and block. You guys aren't going to believe this but my dang blocked is cracked on 3 cylinders. Both the top web at the head and the bottom web at the main journals are cracked. I'm sure its a result of me...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Thanks for the info CasIns! I like the part about the water pump bolt. It puts one of my issue's to bed. I hear what your saying on the other issues and crossing my fingers its a bad liner seal. I will know this Saturday.

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    By the way....Thanks wille59......that worked like a champ..... If you currently have the machine in the spot you're going to do repairs, simply drain the cooling system, drain the oil pan, add some fresh oil, start it up and raise loader arms to install safety prop. The extent of time it will...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    I'm with you packratc........ hole, crack, or paleeze be a sleeve o ring. This weekend I'll get the other 3 out. I have eliminated the "something missing" because it didn't leak before. Well.....it didn't leak into the case before I changed the water pump but i don't think its that. It sat for...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    shopguy....I have only pulled one liner so far. I didn't see a real positive leak trail through the o rings. I figure I'll see a nice rust trail passing by the problem area. I will pull the other 3 this weekend and hopefully find the cause of the leak. What I'm trying to say is right now I don't...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    I'm guessing you got this kit.... http://www.agkits.com/Case-188-G188D-Diesel-Engine-Rebuild-Kit.aspx Looks like a good deal.....I really wasn't thinking about doing the mains though. You did your mains "in frame" and slid them up in there with the nail trick hey? Its a tough decision. I have...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Found where packratc got his kit. They also had the specs I need. http://www.agkits.com/images/G188D.gif It says sleeve protrusion is .002 - .006? Is that a different thing? I'm thinking I'm about .050? Just rambling though.....am I a G188D? More home work for me!!

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Since I cant work on my engine on weekdays cause its just about dark when I get home, I try to get my research in on putting her back together. Here's what I've picked up by reading your guys post. Good stuff from packratc, shopguy, alrman, and Tinkerer to mention a few. 1) Install the liners...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Finished drilling out that bolt and got the head off. When we did the pressure test we saw water coming out #2 so we pulled that piston and sleeve. The o-rings look flat but they were not broken. You can see some evidence of rust trails below the o-rings on the sleeves (zoom in on sleeve pic) ...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    So a good buddy of mine and myself got a good day in on the tear down. Took the pan off, pressurized the radiator and we could see water coming out from the sleeve on cylinder 2 (from front). So we started to take the head off. I heard what you guys said about the bolt behind the water pump so...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Well that sure sounds like my situation. Hopefully I'll get down to the cause this weekend. Have a couple honeydoos' and then I'm going in. Thanks for the info ScottAR.

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    ScottAR, when you say similar problems do you mean a lot of water in the crankcase like I described earlier? Also, did yours by any chance leak water into the case just sitting without running. Im really hoping at this point it is the liner rings because the only other think would be a cracked...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    Racing darkness after getting home from work, I got the valve cover off tonight. Just like willie59's diagram, there are 3 little 1" freeze plugs in the head. There was water in every pool that would hold water so I blew all the water out with an air nozzle and cleaned it up. Unfortunately those...

    Case 580B - Water In Crankcase

    So as ya'll know I drip dried the crankcase last night, filled the radiator and checked tonight. First clue, the radiator was down about and inch, and sure as poop, a good 2 cups of crystal clear water came out the oil drain plug. I never started it. That's just sitting for about 24 hours. I'm...
