After finding excessive condensate (or so I thought) in my 1020D engine oil this winter, I decided this couldn't be just condensation and found the liners were leaking antifreeze after having recently done an in-frame rebuild. The cause was damaged o-rings and these are on the liners. One o-ring was cut and two others were partially rolled out of the groove. When the new liners and o-rings were installed the Deere tech manual simply said to lube with soap and install. Well dish soap was used instead of the JD liner installation soap (perhaps lesson learned) which I do plan to use this time. Are there any other tips to help prevent this from happening again or was using the wrong soap the main problem? Would putting the liners and o-rings in the freezer create other problems not worth trying? Thanks for any suggestions.
