Vac case cracked block ?

Warba · Sep 13, 2008

I have a Vac Case that had been sitting for a number of years. I did get it running and then it after a little bit it started throwing out antifreeze. It was not overheated. I drained the antifreeze and there was some oil in it. I took off the head and I could not see any breaks in the head gasket. There does not seem to be any cracks in the head or cracks in the block. I have not taken off the pan to look there yet. Any ideas on what to look for?

Do you have coolant in the oil?? If you do it could be sleeve seals going bad. I don't remember for sure if its a wet sleeve engine but if it is then that's a good possibility and not uncommon of a problem. Drain the oil out and fill the block with water and let it sit with card board under the engine and see if you get a drip of water from one or more of the sleeves
