Raw water pump failed on 6bta Cummins mixed water with oill

[Danny Parker]

I have drained and refilled oil and changed the pump, what a nitemare! Ii have moisture in the engine, steam coming out of valve covers. Any ideas on how to remove this moisture. Oil is no longer milky. Thanks in advance.

You are not really saying what happened.. Fill us in..

How much water was in the engine?

Usually it take more the one oil change and then if you do not get the oil hot ( like up to 200F+), it’s hard to evaporate the left over moisture

I’m thinking here————-If the water came in from the pump, then that means the bearings were totally shot and the gear was moving around in there–Gear damage is very likely to the drive gear–Be careful..
