Well after scraching the head found that the trani line that runs into the rad had burst and know the clean up. O Bliss!!
white goop could be a mix of trani and anti fluids?
Yikes recycling plants.......harsh environment. Some of the Perkins had removable piston sleeves. They would have hair line cracks in them and cause condensation in crankcase. Same for a cracked head and/or head gasket - compression test will determine that. As for the rad and trans......looks like a leak in the trans cooling side of the rad. I would flush rad and pressure test. The engine would build up pressure in the cooling system causing the coolant to leak into the trans cooling lines. Is the White goop coolant or pure water.
Prentice as far as i know it came from a recycling plant and store indoors,but the $hit that 's coming out is so thick and to clean!any sugests?
Looks like a fun one LOGIC, I had a customer with a big pneumatic Hyster ( Marina truck ) Driver swore they did not drive it in the lake. There was even water in the steer wheel hub caps. We flushed all systems with fresh fluids 2- 4 times. The unit still runs today.
Does your buddy know where the truck came from before the auction???. What type of environment does the unit work in now??? Wet, cold, extreme heat???
