M Farmall engine

Posted by Little Bit on April 29, 2001 at 14:57:31 from (216.10.172.38):

Had a 1953 M Farmall engine completely rebuilt. The machinist told me the cylinder head was cracked, but that he could fix it. So he did. Put the engine back in tractor. After one hour of running there was water in the oil. Took the head back off, carried back to machinist and he pressure tested at 40 PSI and found no leaks. He suggested I fill the cylinder block water jacket up with kerosene. I did and it sat for three days without leaking. He suggested I put head back on and not crank the tractor. So I did. After two days approximately 1/2 cup of water drained out of the oil pan (no oil in oil pan). Can someone please help and advise what could be wrong?
