Blew a headgasket

[PACougar]

Hey, blowing a head gasket is better than blowing a tranny:roflmao:

Unless you have milky oil, that's not where it's coming from. My guess is the line for the coolant you capped is leaking.

 

[Chevy1925]

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

you should be leaking oil there then too or like Dale said, have milky oil. i bet its traveling down from somewhere above there along the edge of the head from engine valley.

That valve cover has leaked oil since day 1 it's just closer to the front of the engine

But you should be seeing something from where the water is coming from as well. either way, the oil should be milky if thats the case

Oil doesn't appear to be milky but coolant is definitely coming from the vavle cover

its dry up along the gasket as it follows the up pipe up to the turbo?

Had one crack at injector bore but it leaked into cylinder, not out.

Been waiting 4 or 5 years to build it. Never wanted to tear down a perfectly good truck. Now I've got a reason

I'm going to be in your boat haha guess I could start picking parts up and keep them on the shelf for when the day comes.

 

[paint94979]

Anyone have any built engine parts they're looking to get rid of?

 

[Harbin_22]

Funk has an entire engine he is getting rid of.

 

[paint94979]

Complete or parting out?
