I think some may remember the severe whitish smoking that JH 13046 is doing. I’ve had it to two referred mechanics and nobody can tell me anything about what’[s causing it or how to fix it. My next thought is maybe I have a head gasket problem despite good tests. I’m gonna get a oil sample in the morning after church and send it off to a lab for analysis. That should be able to tell me if I have water in the oil or antifreeze or… Dose anyone know where I’m gonna send the sample?

What bothers me is that #13046 runs well despite the smoking, the smoke has no identifiable odor, doesn’t feel oily and no smell of any kind yet the smoke is like a military style smoke generator. I don’t mind having the heads rebuilt or whatever it takes, however I don’t want to spend the money and be right back where I am now.
