I had similar issues trying to keep my 88 765T running. The engine only had 147,000 miles on it, but had been severely mistreated. After a head gasket change and removal of the turbo plumbing to try and reduce the internal clanking, I replaced it with a lower mileage B230F out of an 86 244. That was about 15,000 miles ago and the "new" old engine works fine.

Regards,
