Engine Issue
OK guys. So I am losing coolant into my engine.
I've replace my head gaskets a month or so back, and no i didn't have them machined so, yes they could be warped or cracked.
I've replaced the water pump and timing chain so the front of the engine has new gaskets and all.
I did a compression test and all is good and pressure tested the cooling system and it held 13 psi no problem.
I re-did the intake since i was going to install the hughes kit anyways and that's only been a week. so the gaskets should be fine there.
So where or how am I losing coolant into the block? Cracked head, cracked block, open to any suggestions, I'm out of ideas.

Coolant dye is great and all, but how can I see it if the problems on the inside?

Just for the heck of it, is it possible I created my own problem by not getting the heads checks and machined and then torqued them in the wrong order?

OK. Would I notice any engine issues other than coolant lose if I had a cracked block or head? Just checking for more opinions.
I'm willing to do the heads again if that will solve the problem. I'm getting pretty good at pulling the heads. I get faster each time I do it. lol
