Is smoke from the CC vent from start up to finish bad? It ran hot, up to 230 for a few minutes, so I changed the oil. It was due anyway. Then the smoke started.
About like that. I use Rotella 15w-40.
I just changed the oil in it and ran it about 4 hours the last few days. No loss in the radiator and the oil is still clear. I did run a Fram filter this time. Should I go get a different filter? There's no knocking to indicate it's starving for oil. I was doing some heavy tilling and some medium bush hogging on the new oil. The tilling was last years small garden, plus about another 1000 square feet of new ground-we got some good rain the day before.
I was looking at Hoye's site and it's gonna be costly to rebuild this myself, if need be, let alone pay someone to do it. I'll run it until it's blantingly obvious where the issue is and start ordering parts. Might as well go ahead and split it and get my high gear back while it's down.
