    Perkins ad4.203 engine has coolant in oil

    This was my experience, no backing plate evident behind the water pump, maybe bearing became a little worn, impeller wears through timing cover, advised not to,weld it or it will crack, so jb welded it, replaced head gasket as well,, so far so good.

    MF 135 Perkins 3 cyl diesel

    For the past 5 years has been running water and glycol 50%. Prior to that I suspect water only, and it had been sitting for many years before I acquired it. Curiously, the water pump bearing was loose and it was replaced, five years ago, but there was no backing plate installed with it.

    MF 135 Perkins 3 cyl diesel

    My MF 135 3cylinder Perkins diesel, with multi power, developed water in the engine oil. I thought I d post the progress of discovery. Picture 1 is the clean down, picture 2 is the head off, showing the problem. Water pump bearing may have been worn in the past, and, or steel backing plate not...

    Mf 135 water in engine oil.

    Suggestion from others has been that electrolysis, may have created a hole in the water pump backing plate and or the sleeves, based on their experience. Appreciate your thoughts. Seemed like an easy enough place to start the investigation, at the water pump plate, then off with head, then to...

    Mf 135 water in engine oil.

    Head gasket and water pump backing plate seem like repair jobs but sleeve replacement means complete reconditioning of engine?

    Mf 135 water in engine oil.

    Mechanic estimates 15k to fully recondition engine of the tractor in the centre of the photo only. If the sleeves are dry, does that mean they are not connected to the water jacket? Therefore, the leak must be from the head gasket or water pump backing plate?

    Mf 135 water in engine oil.

    My mf 135, 3 cyl diesel, serial No. F 49795. Engine No. 2387237. Centre tractor in photo. When I checked the engine oil found it to be well above the indicator and coloured grey. I assume this is water. Tractor only does light duty hauling fruit bin trailers, didnt overheat. Any ideas on where...
