I have a 41 CHB with a 3 cylinders Northern Lights Gen. set. It was working perfectly until a week ago the exhaust elbow broke right where the water enters the exhaust. I didn't recognise what had happened because the set is in a sound box. Eventually smoke rose out of the engine room and I shut it off and investigated. The cast iron elbow had broken and I replaced it with a SS one from Northern Lights along with a new air filter and 4 injectors. (Salt water got all over everything) Now it is smoking and I am not sure the smoke is exhaust, it may be unburst fuel from one of the cylinders. And it is Making oil. that is the oil in the crankcase is growing. It isn't water I am sure of that , it is Diesel. It will not take a load and I am at a loss as to what has happened to my beloved gen. set.
Possibilities appear to be: Bent valve or maybe a broken piston or broken ring set on one of the 3 cyl
Any ideas, it is in a very BAD place to work on
