    who knows there stuff, or have a guess

    300 tdi,
    the owner tells me she was pulling well, then a harsh motor vibration set in, still pulling well. temp gage climed so he pulled over. motor stopped so he put the cluch in and rooled to a stop. wouldnt start again.

    only visual signs are a bit of oil looks like blowby

    head gasket failure possibly between 2 and 3, and water jacket. you'll most likely find a smear of piston skirt on the cylinder walls, too if it got really hot

    If it got really hot and its got the smear on the bore have the deck straight edged. if its out by more than 5 thou pull the donk for a full rebuild.
