Well that's definetly the gayest thing I have heard in awhile Simon. I guess I know what we are doing this winter.
you better get ready for 100+ psi
Sorry Simon :hug:
Sorry to hear about the truck Simon I'll drink a few for you
yup and a road trip Paul lets go extreme!!!!
Whatever you have Simon I will get a bigger setup from Paul You go GT47 im going Twin Compounded turbos with 2 GT55's in the bed of the truck:rofl:
What a F-en Bummer bro!!!! How the hell did the block get cracked? I'm ASSuming that's what it has to be?
Im thinking if the block was cracked i would have contaminated oil? No?
Also the compression check should of shown sighns of that?
Dunno
I don't know enough about them to say for sure, just ideas. Wouldn't a cylinder leak down atleast give you a ref point? Is there absolutely no chance it could be the heads? Then again if the head was cracked it would leak fluid into the cylinder. Now that I think about it , a cylinder leak down prob wouldn't show a leak either if the piston stops after the crack. Jst thinkin outloud.
Hope ya fig it out!!
I dont know Joey? we did pressure up the coolant tank and let it sit overnight and there was no coolant in the cylinders
the issue seems to be only at high pressures
Simon... issues issues issues.
Thats just severely F'd up. Positive spin? Dude, we/you learned a TON, THANK YOU!
Hang tough Man, just step away for awhile and get back to her when you feel good about it again. Tarp it and walk away, that's what i did (work forced it) but i was purdy toasty and very close to the end.
Better refreshed than tired and hacking at her.
I once had a crack on a head in my buick. It wouldn't leak for me tho. I took the head off and pressureized it and NOTHING. Then just filled it with water and heated up the inside of the intake runner I though was leaking and bam, drip drip drip. Some cracks leak when cold but seal up with heat and some are the other way around.
At work we filled the boiler and just under head pressure it had a pisser about 150' up the wall. We said screw it, well put a squize on it and see if we can find any of the other leaks all at once. Well, with 3200psi on her the leak sealed up and was bone dry. Couldn't find the thing. Kind of off topic but my point is, cracks can be very tricky becuase they can act in many different ways depending on where they are and if heat opens or closes them. Hang in there buddy. MAXLLY is right...walk away and come back when you have some good ambition. When I start getting fustrated the work quality goes right down the tubes.
your right James and that is what ill do
Paul its fine when you first start it untill it gets up to norm op temp then its terrible
it's now at my house in the garage Parked for the winter
