@krazykuda Wuddup sukka?
 
I've just been dealing with my lung problems and shuffling doctor visits...

I have an appointment with one on Wednesday and will see what she says... (Then I can say - "That's what she said"..)
 
Curious weather predictions we have this week. Chance of rain later today and tonight and almost freezing tonight :eek:. 34° down here in the flat lands, probably colder in the higher elevations. Can you say possible snow covered peaks tomorrow morning? Could make things very scenic if they get some snow on the peaks near The World Finals at Pomona. That's usually a Winternationals background.
 
So theory.

I know the 99’s Cummins is toast. Pretty sure it’s spun a bearing somewhere, given the knock and the glitter in the new oil.

But it’s also white smoking, burning coolant only. Not burning an oil. Nor is oil or coolant mixing. This after new head and head gasket. Block and head were milled for flatness.


Pretty sure I have an invisible to the naked eye crack in the cylinder wall, pretty sure it’s number 5.

If I pulled the exhaust manifold and turbo and running the engine, I should be able to see which cylinder is burning the coolant via the white smoke?

should be able to... get some hearing protection first though :)

Maybe...

If #5 is washed it could be a crack anywhere. (you knew that) Heads are usually the culprit.

What does the exhaust smell like? Sweet like coolant? Or raw diesel? When I lost an injector there was a huge cloud of white smoke - I feared the same until I smelt it. Fuel.

Try running that silver powder sealant in the cooling system and see if that will help... It's a band-aid, but may help you narrow down if it's a coolant leak...
