I have a 7140 Magnum with the 8.3L Cummins. Last fall it was
using about 1 gal. antifreeze per day. I found a small external
leak, but it's also getting in the engine oil (oil analysis tested
positive) Pulled the pan off and pressure tested cooling system-
no leaks on bottom end- sleeves and O rings OK. Disconnected
intercooler and tested as best I could. Local independent
mechanic says I should just run it until the problem makes itself
known. I'm afraid that will destroy the rest of the engine. What
do you think? Pull the head? Will I be able to see anything up
top? Top end gaskets are expensive. Magna-flux? Run it? I'm
afraid it will go down when I really need it ( I do custom baling
and such).
Man, my H never gave me this much grief, and it used to be the
only tractor I farmed with!
