i have an 85 740 turbo diesel and i bought it non running with a presumed bad head gasket. i got the car running b4 doing any head gasket work to it. it starts up well but the temp starts getting alittle hot. i have some heat upper rad. hose is warm, lower one is cold and never gets warm, im thinking bad T stat and posible clogged radiator? there is alittle oil residue in the coolant overflow tank. i hear the oil coolers go bad in these and cause coolant and oil to mix. there was no visible coolant in the oil when i drained it out b4 getting the car running.
