There are machines you can buy to pressurize the cooling system (through a special radiator cap, with a compressed air source and regulator). Then you can look with the oil pan, valve covers etc removed, where the water is coming from. Awful job :(
I do think a fresh engine is a lot more sensitive about adverse conditions than a worn engine. Everything is tight so any rust from sitting will have more potential to seize something
Btw were you saying those 400's are for sale?
Oil and water mixing sounds like the piston skirts.
If it only had water in the oil it could be from condensation or something being open. That deutz I have is aircooled and it also had water in the oil :-)
I don't know the history of my truck. It has only 1000 miles orso since the rebuild 20 years ago, but I don't know if that means it was driven 1 mile a week or what.

This M925 is around 15k miles so it shouldn't fail regardless of whether it was rebuilt. I'll check the serial# in the morning.
This other engine that had the sticking valve, a Deutz V12, had been out in the weather and was seized when I got it. I got it to run and it idled great, then when I...
good point, maybe it's an injector?! If it was dumping fuel it could make the engine rattle and smoke.
I need to pick up a technical manual so I can work on it effectively. I have more experience working on diesels with the Bosch/stanadyne style fuel systems. Granted I have a dump truck with...
Hi !

A few weeks ago I purchased an M925A1 - NHC250 (855) cummins, 5-ton, hydraulic winch, super singles. It is an...
