A few people commented on the coffee cup for oil, I still only used 1/2 qt oil to assemble the whole engine, to me it's important to make the most of everything, I mean everything, the average person that I know wastes at least 10 times more than I do, how much $ do they throw in the trash everyday, that's why I try to find the smallest most practical container for the oil or anything else, I only used 1 coffee can of diesel to clean everything, I washed my rags by hand and then again by machine and used them again.

back in the early 90's I did a inframe on a ford with a 290 cummins for a local buddy,he had coolant pouring into the oil pan.I pulled the head,pulled the liners to find very bad electrolysis pits everywhere.Almost through the liners,but worst of all the counterbores were pitted very bad,explains all the coolant in the base.I told him the block should be machined or replaced.He asked me if I could do anything for it,as he was very pressed on the down time.I saidOk,no guarantees.But I will do The best I can for it.I did a pre assembly with no orings on the liners.Protrusion was right on.I then installed all the orings on the liners.Then I coated the liners very good with ultra gray silicone around all the orings,and counter bores on the bottom.Being careful not to get any between the liner flange and counterbore,on top.Then installed the liners and let that silicone cure very well.fortunately that engine ran for many more years until it was tired out.Note if anyone ever tried this in a desperate situation,Make damn sure no silicone gets between the liner flange to the face of the counterbore and check underneath for any loose silicone pieces.

While good advice,it depends on where you live.I can soak a liner in wd-40 etc here in SNJ and at times it'll still rust in a day.Because of the humidity and being surrounded by the Bay and ocean you literally can watch rust form here.It is crazy and once we dry something after cleaning it HAS to be coated with atf,wd-40 etc even if just for half a day.

Just 1 tip: Always lube your liner rubber seals intirely. The machined part of the liner where the gaskets sit are thiner, and the liner can rust trough like I saw several times because people did not use enough coolant in their water. Properly greased you protect that groove from corrosion.

It doesn’t spent oil except a gallon between oil change but it leaks a little bit somewhere between engine and transmission and sixt cylinder is leaking coolant but not much maybe a gallon I have to add every 3, 4 months.

@57bagre7 жыл бұрын
My opinion, a lot of could be's but I'm pretty sure it's not the exhaust, or the balance pulley if it's intermittent, the clutch can do that, the fan, or maybe an injector, are you sure it is the engine at that rpm at any truck speed? or could it be in the wheels or driveshaft?

it seems to be at 1500. but if ive been pulling a big hill with a heavy load i can almost gaurentee it will start doing it. the clutch does sound like a better possibility. would it stop if i ajusted it perhaps?. but regardless it is coming from that part of the drive trian.. thanks for your input,,
@57bagre7 жыл бұрын
If it's the clutch, it doesn't matter if it's pulling hard or coasting at that speed, if the clutch is old and worn out it could have pieces of friction material or hub springs coming out and leaving it out of balance, if the clutch adjustment is too high and you have no free play, you could be having issues with the throwout bearing being in constant play. could be's.

Some people frown on the idea but I would try some "Bar's Leaks" or any stop leak for cars before going into an in frame job. Also check your phosphate level, that's what protects from pitting in the motor.

I mean you can't just pull off the side of the road when things quit working. But I may be a little to critical for an in-frame overhaul on a truck engine in some peoples eyes.

When I was over the road I had to change oil every 2 months or more, the truck was not using as much oil then, I had bought a used oil furnace for my shop and burned the oil in that during the winter, after I went local I sold the oil furnace and put the old wood burner back in it's place. Then the truck was using enough oil between changes that it wasn't worth topping it off every 2-3 weeks with new oil and only changing it 2-3 times a year since it wasn't getting the miles anymore, so I started using up the old oil from the last change since it was only about 6 gallons or so. Now that the truck won't be using so much oil anymore I will need to take the oil someplace for recycling.
