Hi to all of you. I paid the bill in Calgary yesterday via direct
wire transfer. The good news is: the exchange rate saved me about
$4,000 dollars, so all is not bad.

I will fly to Calgary in the morning to pick up the coach. I will
have to button up the bedroom, since they wanted to charge me over
$600 labor to do that. I won't leave Calgary until Tuesday morning.
Plan to stop see a friend in Lewistown, MT hopefully the first night
out. Depends on how I have to run with the re-built engine. I will
take a route back home avoiding as much mountain driving as possible.

Once back in the US and further south, I should be able to get back
on line using my dish and I can give a report on how the engine is
performing.

Dick: Sorry to hear about you tranny problems. Hope they are minor.

Ron, somewhere I missed the information as to what the final problem was found to be. Was there anti-freeze in the oil? Good travels.

If that had happened to me, I probably would have shut the engine down, also. I bet it was very stressful to see the bodily fluids flowing so freely out of an area that is not supposed to be that way.

Ron, Is there anything that can be done to
the engine to keep this from happening again?

I've got to cover the hole before I depart. The rest is simple.

Yes Wallace, but most of the damage was done after the shut-down
because it dumped all the coolant out the air box drain, thus
overheating the engine and seizing it up.

Only thing I can think of is for the safety sensors to shut it down
first. Since the coolant temp did not rise, that sensor didn't do
anything. It needs an oil temp sensor, but this model didn't have
one. I'm planning to get a hold of Detroit to find out if one can be
added. But I think it has to do with the DDEC II

?? Would you have been better off to let it keep runnning until it cooled down if that was an option?

Doubt that the couple minutes I could have run it would have done much
to cool it down, although doing that with the fan in override might
have helped. I didn't know what the problem was however, until I got
out and saw the coolant being dumped.

Someone else suggested to me a couple days ago that if I would have
turned the engine over every few minutes, it might also have helped to
prevent the seize-up.
