Antifreeze

[Jerry]

Tom, how about explaining your statement ". Bubbles indicate you have
leakage between the engine oil and
coolant. ". I am not a diesel mechanic especially a two stroke type, but, I
am a pretty good gas burner mechanic. Bubbles in the coolant of a gas
burner almost always indicates a blown head gasket allowing compression
pressure to overcome the 7# or so coolant pressure and escape into the
coolant. You can usually see these bubbles of gas excaping in the coolant
overflow container. Depending on the configuration of the cylinder head for
oil drainback and distribution to the valve train, you could see some
pressure and or blow by in the crankcase from the compression gases. Not
being familiar with the two stroke DD configuration, I will not venture an
opinion on Joe's problem other than "stay away from the shade trees".

several possibilities but first do a check. Run a transparent tube
from the overflow tube into a glass jug full of water and watch for
bubbles. Bubbles indicate you have leakage between the engine oil and
coolant. First check the PH of the coolant now. If its alright then
the chances are that either you or the previous owner ran the engine
two hot and you have one or more cylinder head sealing rings that are
bad. These seal the cylinder liners from the crankcase. If this is
the problem you need an inframe rebuilt.
