I have a question for you. Yesterday I was combining with my 403 that I put a 301 diesel in, and it got so hot it quit. (I was watching the temp gage but apparently it is not accurate) I was able to start it a few minutes later (it had a ton of blow-by) and backed it up out of the row and shut it back down as it was not cooling off. (There was a strong wind blowing on the engine which helped a great deal) I let it sit for a couple hours and noticed the fan belt had been eaten out leaving just the outside strip. I put on a new fan belt, added a quart of oil and two gallon of water and started to combine again. The engine does not knock, and there is no longer any blow-by or blue smoke. Is it possible I got lucky and did not hurt anything, or when ever an engine gets so hot it quits it is guaranteed damage somewhere. Thanks for your advice.
