My gauge goes to 2000 for a reason!

I'm with Jim. It's like 55mph: only a number on the way to something bigger... Piers, you pulling your hair out yet?

I've learned my lesson. Watch your gauge (unless you're racing, of course)!

John, to me your situation points fingers at an oil cooler or a headgasket, Even tonight when I was up a Cummins getting parts they said they seen several situation like mine (I mean his) with cracks in cyl #3 or #4 leaking water to the push rod tube.

I'm hoping the seep of engine oil from between the head and deck points to a gasket and not a crack.



I'm scheduled at local diesel shop next week for a gasket exchange... and studs and o-rings as long as we're there.
