It's in a centramatic apu ....

Well guys it cleaned up pretty good...I don't see any cracks or anything....I put a straight edge on it ...I can't see any warping ....any ideas

I bought this engine new last year .......I ran it 5 days straight in 95° temps in texas ( I use this motor to turn a generator apu system) that powers my air-conditioning and 120v plugs in my tractor trailer....but it starting pissing coolant out the overflow tank .....so I took it apart today...

Hello all I got bubbles in my coolant ...took off the head ...I don't see any damage on the head gasket ....and I don't see any cracks in the head ...hmmm what do y'all think ?

Now when I put a test light on the glow plugs it lights up nice ...I hope the gloves are new on a new motor but what ya think ? Thanks in advance

It is now 6 months old I used it all winter even in 10 below zero temps ....the starter is a little bit slow ( original)

Darn ....it's brand new....now I just give it a little puff ....but once it starts it is good ...it has been like this since new first time in temps below like 60 ° ....but I'll do the tests you mentioned for sure ...thank you for replying

Hello all This is my first post ....my two cylinder brand new motor is hard starting....when it's 70° it starts ....glow plugs have power....fuel looks good ....at times of no start I give it a puff of starting fluid and it starts right up ...I use it to run a generator like an APU on my tractor...
