troubleshooting a 1991 350sdl
ok guys,join me in this journey,just went to michigan to retrive #93 car,now keep in mind that it probably will take me a month to get this thing apart and report all findings.
here is what i am told,car threw a serpentine belt,red lined on heat,new belt was installed and everything looked normal,car was driven 100 miles and lost oil pressure,smoked heavy out the exhaust.towed to mb dealer and got price for 8-10k engine,then towed home.
here is what i see,radiator is out of coolant,oil is full(stinks like burnt oil)engine will crank over and cranks like one with all glow plugs or injectors removed,no oil leaking from the engine. when cranking the cam shaft it turning.
i did add one gallon coolant to radiator and tried to pump pressure up on the coolant system, arm got tired and no pressure, there is coolant now leaking from the bottom center of the radiator.
ok lets take a shot at this one.
