Yes I have pulled the flywheel and the bell housing cover. I do not see any freeze plugs or leaks. There appears to be a single piece rear main seal that I have not removed, not sure what is behind it of if I can get a replacement. I have not tried to pressurize the cooling system, but that is my next thing to try. Antifreeze could be seen at the time cover bolts after about 1 minute run time. I don't see how that could be long enough for the block to expand. There was water/antifreeze in bottom of the bell housing. The pressure plate and the flywheel are very rusty. There is an oil film behind the flywheel but I did not see any rust stains or rusty cracks. This is my first diesel engine so I am unfamiliar with the technology. I am told that the L1501 is the same as the L185 except for the PTO drive, but who knows.
