Thanks a lot Peggy, Malcom. The cylinder head isn't cracked or at least it don't seem like it. I've always wanted to get my hands on an engine so I think I'll go on right ahead. I don't mind getting my hands dirty.
Thanks again.

You might want to take the opportunity to reseat the valves while the head is off. Make sure you follow the recommended tightening sequence & torque settings for the head bolts. More seriously you might have a cracked block - not much you can do there except scrap it. Hope that helps Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: Christopher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 July 2004 02:28 To: Biofuel Subject: [biofuel] engine problem * Hi Guys: This is a question to all you mechanic types out there. I have an engine just like Terry McMcGleish's. http://www.eline2000.com/eline/articles/biogen/biogenset.htm It died on me and when I looked to see what is the matter, I found that the oil floated into the radiator and water sank into the oil sump. What could be the cause of this problem? I have decided that I will fix(or ruin)the engine myself. Could anyone help me out and point me to the right direction? Thank you so much.
