Cheers stu Is the oil boiling? If so you could look at your cooling system - water pumps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big ray Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Crankcase compression, sounds like possible broken rings, oil burning in the cylinder and going straight into the sump, you would also expect smoke from the crankcase breather ????? only one of many possibilities, dont get the spanners out yet, someone on here might have had the same problem.

Adrian Barrell Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 A compression test would be a good first move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happydayz123 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Many many thanks for your help guys,it's really appreciated.My HT was a sod to start today,but she finaly came to life & was loaded safely.Many thanks to all the guys that stayed behind at Rauceby,and helped to get her started and loaded safely.On the way home,I rang my farmer friend to be ready with his tractor.When it came to unload,she started first time with know smoke at all coming from the breather ?.In fact she ran & sounded better,than in privious short outings ??.When I bought my HT,the thermostate was missing.Being replaced with 100s of acorns out of the head !!.Im just wondering,if there's still a couple in there.And that is the corse of my engine being to hot,and heavy smoke coming from the breather ??.Ill soon find out Tom !!.

Redherring Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We're in the middle of a very wet winter here. The bushrats have sought higher ground, notably in any machinery I park in a shed. They move in with their food supply. Acorns! They've also done their best to strip the wiring from my ute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpu121265 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We'll sort it Stu, I just need to get to it! Which part of the manifold is cracked? Left ear, right ear or the centre section? I have some White HT manifold parts 'somewhere' - if not Gary Hebding is your 'man'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happydayz123 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 The right ear is cracked Ken. Cheers mate stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happydayz123 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Did the compression test today,which showed up nothing !!.All ok,changed the oil & water at the same time.The HT now runs fine,with no smoke coming from the breather. Could it have been a stuff valve ? stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
