So I bought a new to me 94 7.3 idi factory turbo not running was told they couldn’t get it started bad fuel lift pump and starter.
Installed new batteries old ones were crap and it had a good starter. Nothing wrong with the lift pump other than rotten rubber hoses leaking fuel. Fixed that and started bleeding out air finally got all the air out and started it ran rough for 30-60 secs I remembered there was no coolant showing in radiator so I thought I would shut it down and top of off with distilled water and then flush and fill. 14 gallons later water and oil starts pouring from dipstick and large hose from cdr. So I’m wondering could a bad oil cooler do this or do I more than likely have a large hole in my block or heads? (Sorry for the long post)
