a friend of mind has a 1995 Mack Midliner that lacks power, loosing antifreeze into oil, we suspect head gasket but we are concerned about the turbo inner cooler, if it could leak antifreeze into the cylinders? Never had one of these apart before (auto tech for 30 yrs.)
is the head gasket a common problem? does this have sleeves? any help or info would be greatly appreciated..Dan

Head gasket failure fairly rare - oil cooler more common but No 1 could be either liner seals or with the wrong coolant porous liners :(:(

Mack Midliner Reault Engine Cylinder replacement info

I forgot to mention that the engine is a Renault, MS 200 model, I guess that does not matter, thanks for you help..

Well my friend got the cylinder head off and found the number four cylinder scored badly, deeply grooved. He was looking at the cylinder kits at the local truck dealer and they showed shims for what he assumed was for the cylinder protrusion? How do you know if the newly installed cylinder is level with the others, coud you use a straight edge? And do you recommend sealant be put on any of the cylinder seals? Do you have to tap on the cylinder to seat it ?
Many thanks in advance..

You were right, looks like the #4 cylinder is scored badly. No sign of head gasket failure.
The new cylinder kit appears to have shims, are they for cylinder protrusion? If so, how do you measure the height of the cylinder above the deck to match the other cylinders? Use a straight edge ? Do you add a sealer to any of the cylinder seals? Do you have to drive the new cylinder into place ? You help is really appreciated. thank you

I have a 1998 Mack MS200 with the Renault engine, #5600 426-02 on the block.
It recently started getting hot on a return trip from Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, we live in Knoxville Tennessee.
We pulled the radiator and found it flow tested good, but a lot of the cooling fins were corroded away so we replaced with a new one.
We also found the electric fans for the cool the A/C coil were bad so we replaced them.
We took a trip to Bluffton S.C. last week And the truck ran hot unless we kept it around 1,800 RPM , quite slow going up the mountains.
Any Advice as to what might be causing this problem?
We thought we would check the thermostat,
Anyone know if the water pump impeller could be breaking down , they look to be make of metal in the little bit of info we could find on these engines.
Any Advice would be Greatly Appreciated
