'04 Series 60 getting fuel in my coolant

That's what I thought. It took them four days to pull it in the shop, then the weekend, then monday they finally took the valve cover off.
I just hope it's done right.

 

It's been running rough. I have been planning on an overhead for a while thinking it was that.
I'm not real surprised that it needs a cam. I am surprised that it's taking this long.

 

I finally got my truck yesterday afternoon. It's running good but I haven't had a load on it yet. Tomorrow will be the real test.
Being down for over two weeks really hurt the wallet.

 

Yeah the head had to come off. They changed the cups, injectors, rockers, cam and Jakes. I know they flushed the radiator too but the coolant is a kinda dull greenish red color. I'm betting they didn't flush the whole system out.
Not bad for having 15 days to work on it right?
The truck has great power now and the Jakes work perfectly for once. I haven't noticed any better mileage though. I've always gotten 5.7 with it and that seems to be where it's going to stay.

 

Now I'm beginning to worry. Since all this work has been done It's smoking at idle. Thin white smoke at idle up to 1,000 rpm.
It uses a gallon of oil roughly every 10,000 miles and has since I got it so that hasn't changed. I haven't noticed any coolant loss either.
Why would it be doing this now?
Note, it had doen this a little in the past. If I idled at low idle then after a while I would see a little white smoke. Bump it to 800 and it would quit. Now it is doing it a lot.
EGR cooler perhaps?

 

I took the truck in to Tom Nehl in Jacksonville. They tested everything and found that I will need an overhaul before long but that wasn't causing the smoking.
Paul, the mechanic that worked on it talked me into letting him do the overhead again. I was reluctant but he sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
He did. It was out of adjustment after just having been done.
I'm glad that it's now done but I'm more than a little ticked off that it wasn't done right to begin with. I'm hoping that the original shop will reimburse me for having it redone but I'm not holding my breath.

 

The original shop, Virginia Truck Center in Chester did not reimburse me for having to redo their work. To say that I'm not happy with them would be the understatement of the year.
