Hi Allis Fans,
I have a D-17 Series III gas Allis. Yesterday after running the D-17 for a few minutes on the bailer, steam and antifreeze spewed out of the oil filler spout. The oil dipstick indicateed most of the coolant went into the oil. With the head off I can see no craacks around the cylinders (actually it looks like it has sleeves) and i can see no cracks on the top of the block. With the head off and the oil pan plug out it will drip water out of the oil pan drain hole when I fill the block collant chambers. I've rebuilt quite a few engins but never one with sleeves or never an Allis engine. The block is probably cracked a but I'm wondering if this might be something else. Does any one have any information about this problem? If i need to replace the block, does anyone know where i might find one?
Thanks and have a good day
