Just got home from the shop. I picked up a nice 4610 diesel with a cracked block this winter. The motor had JUST been overhauled and had had a new crank in it. I put an engine kit in it, sleeved the hole, and remfg the head. I HAD THE HEAD PRESSURE TESTED AND MAGNAFLUXED. I got it running today, and it was perfect. I ran it two or three times for 10-15 seconds to adjust things. When I got back from lunch, I poured antifreeze in it and fired it up to take it outside. It started puking antifreeze out of the rear cylinder so badly It would cover the tractor with haze in 20 seconds...Im not sure at this point if its the head or the block. The block showed no cracking before assembly and during boring..Its not the leaking that is bugging me tonight, its the fact that I just put the *($#&! together...Sorry! I had to rant!
