Hi guys I hope you can help!!!! I have a 86 case 580d backhoe loader It runs but very poor and smokes like a Bi*ch. I dont know ANYTHING about diesel engines but do have an extensive automotive backround. The guy I bought it from said this started after someone used an excessive amount of either/starting fliud. The smoke coming from the exhaust smells like raw diesel and not oil there is also a substantial amount of what appears to be fuel leaking out of the exhaust. Would low compression cause these symptoms? If so where would I check the compression? I thought maybe it would be a stuck injector so I swapped it with a different cylinder and it still get the fuel from the same cylinder. Im am reluctant to just tear it apart if it could be something simple. I know this is a really stupid question but shouldnt this engine have some sort of glow plugs? If so where would they be? Could it be possible that it just washed out the cylinder and priming the cylinder with oil may reseat the rings? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, Mike

 

No thats not going to help. It might be as simple at a cracked injector. Check out HEF
