this has nothing to do with tractors but figured I'd give it a try any how. had alot of luck when I painted my farmall c talking on here. I have a 1991 chev 1500 4.3 6 cyl that is burning oil almost over night. the exhaust is very white and also leaves a carbon residue on inside of pipe. it was running cool so I replaced the thermostat and when I checked the oil I noticed hints of coolant in the oil. the dip stick had oil on it but also had scattered amount of discolorization that would lead me to believe it had coolant on it also. however was neither all grey nor all black. have'nt had to add any coolant.

There's an easy test for headgasket leakage - it's a test strip that looks for exhaust contaminants in your coolant. Just dip it in your coolant and see what color it turns. Eliminates a lot of guess work.

To test for a blown head gasket, get ahold of a cooling system pressure tester. Connect the tester to the radiator filler, but don't pressurize the system. Start the engine up; if the head gasket is blown, the cooling system pressure will rapidly rise within a few seconds of startup. (Shut the engine off as soon as you see the pressure rise to avoid blowing something up.)

This engines are known to weep coolant internally or externally between the aluminum intake and the cylinder heads at all 4 corners of the intake manifold. Check here first.
