  • Jcb 801.4 perkins breathing

    Hi everyone. As per my previous post I rebuilt my 801.5 in 2018/2019, and it's been running perfect other than the front blade not lifting higher than horizontal. However, I allowed my neighbour to borrow it for a couple of days, three weeks later he called me yo tell me I have white smoke coming out of the breather pipe. I methodically rebuilt the engine and it's only done 400 hours. I noticed the fsn belt was loose, so guess it overheated and will probably have to dismantle the engine to allow another rebuild.
    Does anyone think otherwise? I am gutted he has a jcb 3cx so he should have been wise to any issues especially since I have oi pressure gauge, alternator charging alarm and I explained procedures. Any good news would be appreciated​
