I only work old iron because I secretly have a love affair with my service truck!

Hey big red I seen that you went to the stave mill awhile back how's that working out. I'm in magoffin co. I used to haul in there quite a bit. I seen on the news that they are going to start building barrels I hope it works out because we can sure use the jobs around here.

The only fault I had with the stave mill coming to town was their minimum diameter on white oak logs. In 10 years there won't be a white oak over 10" dbh left in 8 counties.

Just another idea here, but hopefully you have it solved. Those Detriots had both left hand and right hand rotation coolant pumps. Any chance yours has the wrong one? I just replaced one on my 3-53 last fall. Easy job on mine, so I'm assuming it's about the same on a 4-53.

That was exactly the problem, no coolant flow. Someone threw a RH pump on this motor and it needed a LH. Like I said, I am a virgin to a Detroit, but after some research and hair pulling and talking to you all I finally figured it out. A three hour round trip drive and a new $150 pump and the ol' Jimmy runs cool as a cucumber! Thanks!
