was planning on going to the car wash again, running real ruff didnt want to accel. pulled the dipstick and it was dry again. dipstick tube smoking, im dripping lots brand new oil.

i hope you dont get annoyed by me pestering you guys but my gut feeling tells me somethings wrong.

 

Not at all, you do need to find out where the oil is coming from? Is it still on the driver's side? I ask because we didn't touch anything on the driver's side. Before we can keep troubleshooting, we have to find out where the oil is leaking from?

 

i cant tell its all over the up againts the bottom of the fire wall. i looked at the driverside head, and i saw some drips. the front diff is covered. here is what i see on the driver side. the pic with the red box it looks like i could fit a screw driver head inbetween there. not sure if that gaps supposed to be there.you can clearly see the coil drips onto the header flange like it was on the passenger side 2 months ago. same spot.

Winston, are you telling me you have now blown the driver side headgasket? LMAO, if so you have the worst luck of anyone I know.

 

Looking at the pics. And from what you've been telling me on the phone. It looks like your head gasket is blown. When I come over on Friday ill help you check it out (just got to chase my grimlin first, lol)

 

He is saying he can actually see a gap in the driverside head big enough to stick a screwdriver in. So now he has a warped driver's side head and the passenger side is fine. Talk about bad luck.

 

he can get it resurfaced tho right?

 

Yes, and it doesn't cost that much. A local machine shop can do it for 75$, then he needs new head bolts, new gasket, etc. His problem is the time it would be down waiting for the machine shop as he is in school.

My vote was to
1. Search salvage yards for a low mileage replacement motor.
2. But a set of rebuilt heads, and resale the ones he has now after they are resurfaced.

 

hey billy wont it be easier to find a motor in omaha or around you instead of having to get it shipped/transported up there. i can prolly get someone to put it on a flatbed and tow it up there but i have no way of keeping a motor in my apt if i get one.

 

I will start calling Salvage yards tomorrow and see what I can find man. If you find one down there cheap, I will drive down there and haul it back to my garage for you. Tomorrow the search begins.
