I agree on hook a good plow to it and work it good and hard. Maybe install a higher temp thermostat. My Ford 3910 has a 188F I put in it and it runs right at the white/red interface...central scale and loves it. May up the one in the 3000...just need an excuse to go in there and dig it out.
My test for guides leaking is to let it idle for a while, 10 or so minutes then taking about 2-3 seconds max, advance the throttle to full PTO RPM. If you get a puff of smoke at the onset, the guides have leaked oil into the combustion chamber and when you hit it at the rate I said you burn it out. Another test would be that you blue smoke on acceleration at a moderate rate...being these engines are usually under square to get their torque (not black) but your crankcase doesn't need oil added often enough to notice it.
