Original post is below:
Anyway, talked to the kid today that did the work. He said to use it through the winter and, if not better in spring when I can afford the time, he'll redo everything free labor and I only buy the parts that I didn't buy before (he'll buy the ones I just replaced new). It seems a little better though. Ran it about 4 hours today and no noticeable loss. He said that the rings still needed to seat. Asked about why everything wasn't replaced and he said "trust me". We'll see, but I think he's pretty good.
If I had major problems, wouldn't I have excessive blowby and suffer as far as power?
For the last 20 years, I'd buy 10-15 year old cars (150+k miles) and drive em til the repairs would cost more than a replacement. I always changed the oil and used slick50 (for startup protection) and castrol 20w50 oil. Think that would be a smart move for my tractor?
Thanks, Dave
Hey Folks,
details first:
1964 McCormick D326 (German made farmall)
3cyl Diesel (DD-111) motor
Going through quite a bit of oil the last few weeks. Rod bearings had to be replaced because I didn't realize it and ran out of oil. Anyway, engine work is all done and things are OK EXCEPT .........

No oil in water or water in oil, no visible leaks, doesn't smoke after it runs a minute or so.
Should I be looking somewhere else? Is there a wonder drug that will tighten the valve seals to get me through the winter (need it daily in winter and can't afford downtime)?

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
