Anti-freeze in SMTA Oil

Retcol · May 20, 2015

I drained the oil from SMTA and I saw anti-freeze come out. What is most likely the cause?

Blown head gasket, cracked head, cracked water jacket

Think I would start with head gasket.

Pull the pan, then top off cooling system then pressurize the cooling system 4 to 5 psi and look for leaks, head gssket, cracked sleeve ect.

Fixed same problem on a IH 140 with a new head gasket.

We have had this trouble many times and it is almost always a cracked head get it magna fluxed at your local machine shop.

Just went through this with my SMTA ... Cracked head.
so, new 450 LP Head, new valves, 4 1/8 overbore sleeves & high compression pistons, new main & rod bearings and now I have one great running SMTA.
