And for like the 4th Saturday in a row, it either rains, or gets cold, windy, and rains

Wife mounted me this morning before I could get out of bed and then I spermed inside. Now she is all pissed.

We had a slow rain that lasted for over 30 hours. Which basically meant that we got almost 6 inches of rain. So everything is super muddy and nasty and I haven't been outside in like 5 days.NinjaPoodle wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 7:08 pm So Smucky, how is it going with the tractor engine head?
Might go to the machine shop and pick up the head tomorrow. Might work on it this weekend. Might not.

True but if it is cold, or windy, or rainy or any combination of those, it somehow just doesn't feel rightNinjaPoodle wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 8:47 pmbut you have a barn where you can work indoors right?Smucky wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 7:37 pmWe had a slow rain that lasted for over 30 hours.

Looks kind of good. What are those corroded flats on the head?Smucky wrote: Thu Apr 23, 2026 9:23 pm Head picked up.

Also can you clean up the coolant cavities? Looks like it a lot of shit in there. Blow them with compressed air at least.

The corroded "flats" are from the casting holes on the block which are open to the coolant. And right below those flats are the casting holes on the head, those are open to coolant but don't match up to any holes on the block. I call them "casting holes" because I don't know any other terminology. But seems kind of weird, don't think I've seen random holes on blocks on cars that are open to coolant but don't flow any where.NinjaPoodle wrote: Thu Apr 23, 2026 10:03 pmLooks kind of good.

I marked where the actual "flows" happen through the head here. Red=oil pressure feed. Green=coolant. Blue=oil return
Kind of don't see where coolant could be leaking into the oil at. But I haven't even looked at the block either. The "cylinder walls" are sleeves that are pressed in. Apparently that is typical of diesels. Hoping those aren't leaking
In the top left corner there is some kind epoxy type stuff in that hole. Kind of weird, might try to dig it out or investigate. I was just impressed they cleaned the head as good as they did. There is no paint left on it, so not sure what they dunked it in.

Bla. It looks like the engine is a wet sleeve design and engine coolant leaking past the sleeves and into the oil pan is a common problem
I thought wet sleeve was a modern thing.
Fuuu
I'm going to go pour some water in the block and then in the morning pull the oil pan plug and see what comes out

Alright. Got a gallon of weakly mixed antifreeze in the block. I guess now I wait.

You should check for scoring on the cylinder walls. If they are ok, then you should pressure test the cylinders but the head must go back on in that case.Smucky wrote: Fri Apr 24, 2026 12:17 am Kind of don't see where coolant could be leaking into the oil at.
