Hello there,

I've been using the car semi-regularily for the last few years. I'm glad my posts were entertaining to you, they are to me too! :D As this car is mainly a hobby (and my job is a few...

Thumbs up Seventh drain and re-fill completed

With the weather forecast showing that we'll be getting our first freeze tonight I had to relent and replace the water/soap with anti-freeze/soap. :D The seventh drain was 90% clean water. There was...

I have not yet changed out the radiator, I plan to do so when I finish cleaning out the system; I reckon 2-3 more iterations. I do have the process down pretty good now. It's broken into 4 main...

Thumbs up Sixth drain and re-fill completed

There was finally a break in the rain and I was able to drain and refill. The clumpy oil is less and less and the drain-off is mainly dirty water. :)

Thumbs up Fifth drain and re-fill completed

It's still oily, but empirical evidence suggests that it's less oily. :D

Third drain and re-fill completed

The nights are getting colder so I need to get a move on before things get too cold. Otherwise the car itself is behaving very well. Looking to put some miles on it this week and work on the 4th this...

This is a very good tip to catching air pockets in the system. Is should be added to this proposed cooling system bleeding procedure!

Oh, right, of course. I've worked on a few slow-speed diesel generators like Lister, Lister-Petter, and some "Red Stone" models that are water cooled and use thermosyphoning for cooling. In those...

Thanks for the reply 'Greasel. I figured it was logical that the radiator had a temperature drop between its top and bottom. It's also logical to assume coolant is pulled from the bottom and filled...

I drove the car around the neighborhood for about 10 minutes or so. The temperature gauge acted normally, no erratic behavior or other gremlins to speak to. In my previous post I mentioned that the...

Second drain and re-fill completed

When drained some additional oil poured out. This time I removed the injection pump thermostat hose to allow the system to burp. Filled the system and ran the engine. Eventually the idle speed began...

Oh yes, of course. I should have read my Green book! I never detached that hose so there must be a large air bubble in the system. That would explain a) the gauge reaction, and b) the small amount of...

Thanks for the reply. I have not driven the car on any real distance as the gauge freaks me out and I opt to keep things very local. I drained the oily water-soap today from the radiator. It wasn't...

I took the car for a quick spin (under 1.5 miles) and once I got down the road the temperature gauge started moving very high. Right before cutting the engine the needle suddenly jerked to the left,...

In the mean time I'm going to re-use the right angle coolant plug for the rear of the cylinder head. The o-ring was very hard and split in two pieces on removal. Being proactive I went to the local...

Oh man, this is the solution I've been looking for! :D What cars had this blanking plate? I assume D24 engines, did some have freeze plugs and others blanking plates?

Man, George, that is some great news. I anticipated that those hoses would cost a small gold mine!

If you're also a reader of the D24 Mailing List you might recall the tale of a D24T owner who's oil cooler went bad and introduced oil into the coolant, and coolant into the oil. This prompted a...

I de-greased the front bottom half of the engine as this was the worst or it. A significant collection of oily grime was on the bottom half of the alternator, front of the sump, oil...
