signs of rings or blown piston!?
If your compression was ok I dont see your rings being gone, but if you see blue smoke its oil=rings gone and if its white(whiter than seeing your actual exhaust in winter time) something else let go and letting coolant in the cylinder(s)
not always true on a compression test...u need to do a leak down to find out for sure its ur rings
well its 12am here so ill have to do it tomorrow. my friend put his hand on the exhaust like touching it and i reved it up to 2500 or so and it shot oil or something wet out of there but it didnt smell like coolant
Pulling my motor tomorrow!!!
Pullin my motor tomorrow what do i have to do about the axles? when i pull the motor?
Loud ticking noise coming from the left side of the engine where the pulley is. milky **** in my intake... will the ticking go away if i replaced the head gasket or intake gasket? becasue i know one of them is blown, bubbles on my dip stick but no white milky look on my dipstick or oil cap... so what do yall think????

ringland, is my bet
u dont have any cooling mods listed either, so id guess ur ring land, u dont need to pull the motor to do a headgasket
though, i would pull the head off before u go too too deep

I bet the ticking noise is the bolt that hold the timing chain guide in place - mine broke off and the chain was rattling and ticking its ass off - according to the dealer is common issue - there is a plug right by the side motor mount where the pulley is..pull that plug out and see if there is bolt sitting in there - if so thats the ticking noise!! dealer put a new head on mine under warranty
^ sure does smell like gas... is that bad in your pics? or can be fixed?
