Thank you Rome K/G. I used a mobil CAT tech for setting the heads and was very careful. I did not trust using my loader and chain fall so hired Cat tech. The old heads had no water in oil and had several cracks that went from injector to exhaust valve and all the way up into the head; making it junk. Bought new head from California's Florin Cat and had the put all new parts in the head. The other head was magfluxed and had no damage but I sent it to Machine shop for complete head job. All 4 prechambers were replaced with new ones and torqued to specs. Radiator was so bad that it was unrepairable. New radiator was $5000. I had the sleeves checked by Cat tech and all 4 cylinders were in specs.
Thank you for sharing the weep hole location.
I was also told a bad water pump would do the same thing. Is there a source for Cat water pumps? John
Florin may have a pump. they are rebuildable, not much to them.
