Hi all,
lookin for some advice.
B414 deisel (BD154) engine.
it appears that i am getting oil in the coolant.
with engine running and rad cap off, coolant is foaming and is a darkish color and feels a little slippery. i thought it would be kinda milky if oil was in the coolant.
Tonight i will drain the pan and check the oil, also going to do a compression test to see what it reveals.
i have read as many posts as i could on this site, and some say that a head gasket is probably not the problem.
if this is not the prob, where is the most likely source of this trouble?
One another note, under heavy load, i get a bit of knocking.
Just wondering if i can narrow it down to either the rod bearings or crank bearings.
thanks in advance
mike
