staxx Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Need to do a oil sample first and find out if oil is thin because of coolant or fuel or just a electrical issue . You may have 2 issues here , fuel in oil is the most common problem in the oil. If it is coolant you will also need to inspect main and rod bearings ,coolant in oil acts like sand in the oil and eats bearings.

farmer52 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yes, used oil sample/analysis is always a good place to start when diagnosing lube issues.

Solution staxx Posted June 20, 2013 Solution Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes cut counter bores , crank I would have to see it myself to determin sometimes you can polish crank up enough in the chassis to be ok if you are going to do the cam and liners, pistons counter bores . Need to look at the price of a reman from. Mack and you would be set 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31463-2006-ac-330350-acet728ci/#findComment-189782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
