So cruising back home from down south at 100mph a thought ran through my head......
How much does a rod need to be shortened before the piston hits the crank?
Also instead of making two threads a little thing I learned,
I just got my heads done and then couple days after I had coolant on the fender well and thought they were toast again or had a crack in the head that we missed. I thought maybe it was just the system getting any air out and burping the coolant out the overflow.
This persisted but the amount of coolant coming out was not much and I was down south working with no time to do anything so I just drove it. On the way home today I got the low coolant light and had to turn around and get to the nearest service station to get coolant. When I pulled the cap off I had no pressure so thought the cap was bad. As I was replacing it at the dealer I noticed the aluminum line leaking that runs to the heater core and voila there was the source of the leak the whole time. I guess I shouldn't assume one thing without looking at all other possibilities first but I guess with losing the headgaskets twice, I see coolant on the fender well and thats the first thing that comes to mind.
