Why is that steam coming out of the vent tube? It looks like this engine has a leaking head gasket or a cracked head.
This is what is called “blow by” a small amount is normal. Just need to keep an eye out for an excessive amount.
@@meg-midwestenginesgenerato4706 In your video I can't really tell if it is blowby, which is smoke, or if it is steam. Here is another video ua-cam.com/video/LVmv03FDmdY/v-deo.html of a 3412 genset that is clearly steam and has a problem. How many hours are on your generator?
@@frazzledude Blow by is technically vapor. Every diesel has some blow by, to determine if it is excessive you really need to use a blow by meter and compare it to the engine specification. My 3412 600kW only has 459 hours so the likelihood of excessive ring wear is very small.
Go back and shoot it again with the camera held correctly
