 Topic: HD16DC 6 hours test drive.

I have been testing my old 16’ and added 6 hours to the hourmeter, it’s all satisfying and it’s not leaking (yet)

That is great! Did you do a sea foam engine oil treatment? Engine fuel treatment?

I did fill the no 1 cylinder with 100 celsius degrees 5w-20 engine oil (the thinnest I could get) and let it stand for the weekend over, all the oil was drained to the crankcase, then I changed the oil and run the engine warm then a oil change again. It’s a lot better now, but I’m not sure that is totally over. It’s smoking a bit blue when cold but I hope that it’s some oil rest in the system.

It’s about 75 kilometers from my home, I normally move it by my tractor and lowboy but it’s to faraway, and the harbor have some emissions restrictions for road vehicles, so I have hired a trucker

Thank you for sharing the experience Morten.
I love cab overs. I was trained on a Ford Cabover. A CL 9000.
