Hello there,

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...

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. :)

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...

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...

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...

O-rings ...
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!
