Blew a headgasket

[paint94979]

I've been beyond busy with work 6-7 days a week but I noticed this the other day... after all this time a damn headgasket. Now I have to build it

Must be in the air Nick, mine finally let go late this winter. Tuned at 600+ for 5 years and a few bastard stacks before EFI Live:rofl: they didn't owe either one of us anything #2 and #6 fire ring was split and bulged into the cylinder slightly.

Looks like a valve cover to me.

That's what I was thinking too

Well Nicky has been out of the game for years. I bet his aux 12v plugs still don't work either

I would say a leaky valve cover still warrants a motor build!:thumb:

Knew it! Lol

Maybe he tells the Mrs it's a head gasket

Whatever it takes to talk yourself into a build! :spit:

That's exactly where im at ... It is leaking from the back of the engine as well, definitely coolant. Radiator hose is hard overnight as well. :thumb:

If your radiator hose holds an erection for more than 4 hours, call your engine builder.:thumb:

 

[DefiantArms]

Mike for the win haha

 

[schulte]

Are you saying there's coolant coming out from under the valve cover?

I bet it's coming from up above and running down and that's where your seeing it. hoses to the turbo fail, egr coolant hoses fail. but it could have failed from the excessive pressure in the system due to HG's failed.

 

[paint94979]

I have an oil cooled turbo and no egr... everything is capped or bypassed

cap leaking? freeze plug in back of head leaking? heater hose leaking from the hose or the stupid plastic connections? did anthony piss on it?

 

[paint94979]

It's definitely coming from that gasket... question is why would coolant be leaking into the valve cover?
