Hi all I've been running my Fergie TED on lower octane unleaded since i removed the heat shied and its been going a dream, starting spot on, running without any issue and with full power. However, it overheated the other day and on checking the radiator was empty. I topped it up after cooling and ran it the next day and same happened with overheating although radiator had fluid in still. On checking dip stick the oil seems milky and if sticking my finger in the top of the radiator there is clearly oil in that. Is this the head gasket ?
If so, was it caused by just using unleaded in this engine and not running it on TVO? Is there a check list i can do in case it is something less serious than a head gasket? Has anyone had this happen and what did it cost?....I will need an engineer to do this , as I'm not geared up to start stripping the top of the engine ?? I'm keeping the TED as very tidy & sentimental but looking for cheapest option Thanks
