Do I have to remove the 5.9 engine from my 98 dodge ram 1500 sport in order to replace head gaskets?

 

No it's a little easier but it can be done while inside the truck. Why do you think it's the head gaskets

 

I believe it to be one of the heads itself or the gaskets. My radiator sprung a leak the engine got hot. It sounds kinda like a pressure cooker rattling with the engine running. Has white smoke coming from the tail pipe. The engine seems to have plenty of compression & sounds fine except for the extra noise.

 

Test to see if combustion gases are getting into the coolant
