[AT] Test now IH 184

[Mike Sloane]

The engine runs fine when cold, but after a while it starts running hot 
and pumping fumes out the oil fill/breather. Since everything looks OK 
on top, no bearing noise, good oil pressure, etc., I am going with my 
experience with other IH C-60 engines and assuming that the problem will 
be worn rings. If that isn't the case, I will be very surprised and will 
have to dig a little deeper. I did find that the fan belt was somewhat 
loose, and that might help explain the overheating.

I will follow up with progress (or lack thereof).

Mike
