Head gasket: FAIL
Sunday, May 23, 2010
Sad times
The engine was running really hot and kind of stupid, so I did a compression test. Bad compression on 6/8 cylinders. There was also water in the oil, and lots of thick, white smoke billowing out of the tail pipes.
So now I get to save up to buy new head gaskets (cheap), resurface the cylinder heads (cheap), and while I'm at it, I may as well replace the intake and exhaust valves (cheap) and the rocker arms (cheap). Add 10 hours to get the thing all apart, replace the pieces, and back together (expensive), and I'm not going to be working on this beast for a while.
