    Posted: 24 Apr 2024 at 9:57pm
hey everyone. Looking for some advice on my Allis 190 again. it has started to smoke blue at idle and below 1500 rpms. under even a small load is burns clean and does not smoke. if I rev it past 1500 rpms it will run clears as day no smoke. I am assuming valves seals leaking oil. it has new Mobil Delvac super 15w-40 engine oil with a fresh filter. I am also wondering it has highish oil pressure. like 55-60 psi at 2200 rpm and like 45 at idle after being run on a 3 point tiller for 30 minutes.. I has a new copper tube and a Stuart warner Gauge. any idea what would cause this. could this cause it to smoke. and will it hurt it if I run it even though it smokes. also the tractor Is pretty low Houred only 3900 on tach

Thanks

Gas or diesel?

If it's gas, have you run a compression test on it? Does the oil level go down after running it?

Oil pressure is FINE. Blue smoke usually means oil burning. 3900 hrs is generally a lot of hours on a GAS engine (depending on what kind of life it has had) and I'd expect some oil consumption. How much oil does it burn ??? I'll bet very little and you are worrying about nothing at this point. There are no valve seals on that engine. Hurts nothing to run it as it is.

Have you tried adding a little (either) Seafoam or Marvel Mystery Oil to the oil? Sometimes it helps.

it burn probably almost now oil. the word thing is I pushes some liquid oil out the exhaust. no Blowby and has a lot of power just smokes a bit. Also the previous owners put a half cup of oil in each cylinder when they parked it. could it have pushed this into the under the hood muffler. it only smoke after running 10-15 min. witch is kind of weird. it is a gas and has good comp

Try working tractor up to operating temp for a decent duration ~ half a day? Full day would be even better. Give the engine a chance to burn off any excess oil from its cylinders/exhaust.

How long have you had this tractor? Is this all of a sudden? Like others have mentioned, try and give this tractor a decent work out, put on a plow or a disc/field cultivator for a steady 3-4 hours, and run at full throttle.
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Have you run a compression  test on the cylinders and checked the vacuum?

Stuck or gunked up rings can increase oil consumption, blow-by and reduce power.
Years ago I used KREEN in an old JD combine which had sat for ten years.  The Navy could have used that combine for smoke screen duty.  After using KREEN, the smoke reduced and the power came up.  
The KREEN helped dissolve the gunk around the rings and let them expand.  Went from a quart of oil every 3 bins to a less than a quart per day.
KREEN is made by KANO Laboratories of Nashville, Tn.  They are the makers of KROIL.

okay sounds good. I don't own a Disk or plow. I do have a three point tiller that I will use to give it a workout. it Did sit for around 5 years. after I till some with it and work it if it still smokes I will try KREEN.      

Thanks

Do a leak down test on cylinders before and after you work it good in field

So, run it 1500 rpm or more. Blue smoke is oil and is usually a fact of (engine) life and oil seeping by valve stems at high idle vacuum is likely cause. IF it runs smooth and has power - run it. The alternative i$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Seafoam in the crankcase has helped me on several old engines. Went from smokers to clean burning engines. Highly recommend it. I’m sure the other product is good as well. Just follow the directions on the can, works in either diesel or gas engines.

Seafoam in the gas tank will probably help your carburetor problem. 

I was never much of a "snake oil" fan, but Seafoam is an excellent product. I use it in all of the gas tanks of gas-powered engines that are not run a lot and all of my older gas tractors.

It may be used to only using w30 oil which is worth a try. Have a W6 international changed the oil out and put in 10w30. shortly thereafter it started to smoke at idle lots, thought i would have to do the rings. A old timer said it was that multigrade oil that was doing it. I changed back to w30 and the smoking stop. that was about 20 years ago and i still run w30 in it and have not done the rings and it does not smoke at idle like it did with the 10w30.  I think 15-40 is way too thick manual says w30 or 10w30. I would never run synthetic, the rings are likely unseating, try w30. I had a neighbor with a detroit water truck he used every day same smoking running 15w40 syn oil and i shared the same story. He figured he would have to do a engine rebuild on his detroit. Got rid of syn 15w40 and it doesnt smoke much any more, he was sure happy. try it for the cost of a oil change it is surely worth a try.  Smile
