Thick oil

[PeteMelb]

Just a follow up on the thick oil issue I had that might be interesting to some.

I’ve pulled all the Pistons but on removal damaged Number one piston cooler, so I removed that today to replace it and to pull the liner and found something interesting that may help explain why the liner Oring failed, as this is the first time this motor has been pulled down I can only assume this was set up wrong at the factory.



I’m now going through the process of pulling the rest of the liners and cleaning out every inch of the engine

The entire inside of the engine was caked in this thick black goo that won’t just wash off and has to be brushed off with a degreaser mixture, Ive added some pictures of before and after cleaning.









The Cams and rollers didn't survive.
