Bern, I run my farm on all 401 powered Fords and I have some questions.
I have read about the porous block issues and am trying to do the necessary maintance to prevent this from happening. So what is the necessary coolant maintance? Should I buy pre conditioned SCA anti freeze and change it once a year? I have also read about DCA's? Whats the difference and what should I use?
I have a 9600 which the blow by got so bad I quit using it and it is going to be overhauled this winter. I also have a 1979 TW 30 that is a great running tractor and had zero blow by when I bought it. This spring I noticed it producing just a slight amount of blow by. It isnt using any oil and starts great though with plenty of power. I would just like to prevent it from getting worse or at least slow it down if that is possible. Maybe I am just paranoid? haha!
