as many of you know im in the process of rebuilding my engine because its blown. when i just drained the oil pan a **** load of coolant came out before any oil started to. is that usually a blown head gasket. the cylinder walls are all good so its not that. and i know the rings are also blown.

 

I would guess that's a blown head gasket, If the cylinder walls are good. How did you blow your motor?

 

Sounds like a head gasket to me (if you didn't have any other catastophic failures..lol like. a rod through the side of the block...lol)

Sorry to hear that man!

 

yeah it was the head gasket. just finished taking the motor apart. wow this motor is so easy to get apart it is sad. i guess ill have some nice low mileage pistons for sale lol. how you been 383?

 

Coolant in oil pan before oil comes out = not good..

How did the rings look or have you popped the pistons out yet?

I just finished dropping my motor from my car.. I want a decal that reads, Empty Inside instead of Eaton inside

 

water is heavier than oil
=p

 

yeah im already reassembling the motor. but im stuck on how to get the spirlox into the diamond pistons. anyone got any idea on how to do this.

 

Post some pictures on the gallery on here so I can see the rebuild please!

 

i will after im done maybe tomorrow i dont have time right now. im taking plenty of pics.

 

Cool dude.
