My Holder two stroke diesel tractor blows partially burnt engine oil from the engine exhaust. (This is the nature of the beast since it has an oil injection system versus a circulation pressure system as found on most four stroke engines.)
The fan pulls some droplets into the radiator. Over the years, a greasy crud has built up on the radiator fins to the extent that you cannot see through the radiator while in a clean(er) area you easily can. The crud causes the engine to overheat. It is a thermo syphon system.
Hoe can I remove this crud? I applied industrial grade degreaser followed by rinsing with hot tap water but that doesn't seem to help much.
Any and all advise appreciated! Hendrik
