And, after I cleaned up the flywheel, Pilot Bearing.jpg I installed the new pilot bearing and chased out all the threads.

Then I installed the new drive ring with new grade 8 bolts and a little blue lock-tite that I picked up on my way home the other night.Drive Ring.jpg

So here’s the good news. The new clutch is in!


Since I didn’t need the handle that came with I decided to cut off the hex end and install it on the free end of the cross shaft. Now I have a way to easily check the engagement force.

As the roller has been sitting unused since late last fall I dropped a freshly charged battery in, added a relay upgrade to get full amps to the starter mounted solenoid, checked the fluids and fired up! Drove down the lane so I could roll out the new driveway that I been building up with some of that poor mans gravel I been making…

…and test and adjust the clutch before installing the side covers. I ran the roller for about 20 minutes and was quite pleased with the performance, just like new!

And now for the bad news;


Unfortunately, the brief elation quickly turned to deep sorrow. Upon shutdown I heard what sounded like hissing from the radiator. My first thought was “didn’t run that ol’ boy long enough to overheat” Hmmm…


It was the end of the day so I left it to cool off overnight and in the morning found the radiator down 3 gallons and yup, you guest it… water in the oil. :headbangin’:

Liners?

Well, that’s a good question. And one that I could use some input on so thanks for commenting.


Here’s some more info and a little back story;


First off this is a 1965 International 282 diesel.


If you look back to post #33 you’ll see that this machine has had a coolant leak for some time. The leak was from the head gasket and was always to the outside of the block.


Last fall I did a flush and fill of the cooling system. My guess is that is what did me in. Prolly dissolved a bunch of old crud ( or old stop leak from some previous owner) that was keeping this thing together.


Currently the roller is in a bad spot to work on so today I was hoping to move it back to the machine shed. I drained the oil (and 3 gallons of coolant) from the oil pan. Changed the filter and added fresh oil.


Then I tried to crank the engine. No go. The starter tries ( 12.7 volts at the battery) but the engine will not turn.


I added a gallon of water to the radiator and it went right into the oil pan.


All input would be greatly appreciated.

The D282 doesn't have liners. Famous for blowing head gaskets and cracking heads, though. When flushing, let it cool off before draining and take your time.

So here are things about the 282 that I think I know;
Heads are prone to crack. That’s why I was putting off replacing the head gasket as long as the leak was small and to the outside of the block.

14 head bolts is not enough and is considered a design flaw. This is one of the primary reasons that these motors blow head gaskets, heads come loose. That’s why I re-torqued the head bolts shortly after I purchased this machine.

The other reason for blown head gaskets is a dropped liner. The manual lists the spec for deck protrusion so yes they have liners.


Things that I’m sure that I don’t know;

What failure would allow coolant to flow directly from the radiator into the oil pan while the engine is not running, like, pour water into the radiator and it flows directly into the oil pan!#*!? Blown head gasket?, dropped liner? Cracked block? All of the above?



What I have to decide;

WTF to do!#*!? In a nutshell, rebuild or repower.
