Why is my Kawasaki MULE 3010 diesel overheating?

The PO had a brand new cylinder head fitted only 1 year/30 running hours ago. and I have the receipts for work. After its fully bled everything warms up and fans run, seems ok but then starts chucking water down overflow. If I loosen bleed screw on thermostat housing when engine running i get air and then eventually nothing.

What’s the head tightening sequence on a Kawasaki MULE?

Got the suggested engine manual MS1055 from Brigsparts in the UK for about a fiver. It tops up that the head tightening sequence is fairly simple. you just work from the centre out. tighten to 10ft lbs, then go to 25ft lbs in same order.

Where to get a new head gasket for a Kawasaki diesel?

Follow the removal and installation instructions in the service manual to a T, no exceptions or you will not get the new head gasket to hold. Buy the replacement head gasket and head bolts from the dealer or from a Daihatsu distributor where the head gasket and bolts you need are for a DM950DT Daihatsu diesel.

Where to get a Repair Manual for a Kawasaki MULE?

You will want to get your hands on Repair Manual MS 1055 from Diahatsu LLC. It will take you through the head bolt sequence and torque process. It has to be followed exactly and would be misleading to attempt to walk you through the process without the correct manual with the proper diagrams.
