Click and Clack's diesel diagnosis
Anyone listen to the tappet brothers this weekend? Guy called in from Chicago with an 83 300d. Had added anti-gel in the cold weather and afterwards can started missing at lower rpm's with white smoke. Cleared up at higher rpm's but always returns at lower rpm's. Car has 125k on it. Brothers diagnosed a blown head gasket. What does everyone think? Guy said he had a coolant leak somewhere since he could see it on the ground.
I think blown headgasket's on 617's are pretty rare so I'm not confident in their diagnosis. I was thinking perhaps an injector problem of some kind.
