96 12Valve bad blow-by and coolant in oil!!
Just bought this beast and previous owner said he had the head magnafluxed (whatever that is...) and a new head gasket with ARP studs installed by a performance diesel specialty shop. Don't know what the tech was smokin', cuz now my oil is totally contaminated with coolant. Could the oil cooler possibly be the cause? Another cummins tech told me that the cooler failing would only cause oil in the coolant, not the other way 'round... Any ideas?

I would make sure you get a high quality part .. and Detroit may end up being righ ton the money .. But .. its a place to start .. least you will know its done ..
and yeah you most likley will end up pulling the head .. possibly a stud thats loose coolant worked its way through the HG material ..
