Went to use my 16b this morning and the oil was way over full and the rad which is always full was low. Thinking liner orings.three years ago had the oil cooler fixed because I was getting oil in rad,don't think this is the problem now. Plan on taking the pan off and press Izes system. Anyone have any better ideas. Don't really have time to mess with,I farm for a living and other equipment is more important than dozer right now.feel free to give me a call at 2529162927

Before you crank it at all and before you drop the pans, take the drain plug loose and see if coolant comes out first. Don't take the plug full out just to last of threads and wiggle it as water will flow where oil won't. No water or coolant and then check for fuel in oil, dab dipstick to a piece of dry cardboard, it spreads rapidly it is fuel.

Thanks dmiller,it took all day to move it to the shop,take the blade off,take belly pan plus engine covers off,power wash it,and finally drive it on boards to the back corner of the shop. I did however crack the drain plug and sure enough it was antifreeze. Plan on taking pan off Monday morning. Anyone know where I can get a good engine kit from other than minnpar,I priced them and got scared.

If only one liner is pitted, you might get by with doing one hole... just hope it isn't #6, I think you have to remove the oscillating beam to access that cylinder for an in frame rebuild. (Never done one, but that is what I've been told) Another source is Endurance Power Products for engine parts. Could also be liner O-rings, but liner pitting is quite common on 855 Cummins for sure, especially if coolant is not changed regularly. Some guys here used to drain the coolant on their engines in the off season to prevent water in the oil, too, as they tended to leak past the O-rings in the winter.

Ok, I thought it strange that there wouldn't be enough room, but an old guy told me he had bought a 16B where they had only done 5 cylinders because they couldn't get to the back cylinder, weird huh?
