white smoke from headgaskets or hydrolock?

I have no idea. Suspected it for a while but confirmed it a few weeks ago when in 2.5 miles I puked all the coolest out of the truck after filling it.

There aren't any gaskets on the motor in those pics. Lol

 

[onebaddmaxxx]

did u pull it out just for gaskets or building it?

 

[NJ_LLY]

Just for the gaskets. The build is because of the damage that I found. I was doing mounts and a new water pump also. Pulling the motor was the best idea we had.

 

[onebaddmaxxx]

did you try honing it ?

 

[NJ_LLY]

I'm going to take this opportunity as an excuse to do what I should have done years ago and built a motor.

The coolant most likely ate the rings as I also had exsesive blow by. My buddy took a motor from a bone stock 190K truck and the cam pin was almost sheared completely. I'm not going to half ass it so it may take some time but because it's getting done rite.
