Well put another set of injectors in. New copper washers and orings and Does the same thing. I think I stressed the head gasket. Two injectors were soaked on the ends with fuel.

Coolant temp seems to start coming up much sooner. Losing compression id say

Head gaskets can be the reason but you could also cracked a cylinder liner too or bent a rod and its causing all kinds of issues. Sadly you wont know till you open it up. Sorry for the bad news from my side of the computer.

Its not bad news i have a few other engines. Guess shes coming on out

 

[icanfixall]

Well. Good that you have a few extra engines but as to this engine. It may very well be ruined. Fluids will not compress. Thats why a rod bends or a cylinder cracks. Or if the head gaskets become the safety blow off valve they will let go. As posted earlier on this is coming out and you will need to open it up to see whats wrong. Good luck and ask questions if you need correct answers right away.

Thinking in cab snorkle?!

woulda saved that engine for sure.

I'm always saddened by the destruction of an engine because of oversight like this. Hope it can be saved but who really knows. I sure would have that cylinder inspected by mag particle testing and maybe fluorescent dye testing too. Also checking the crank for micro cracks in the radius area.
