    Head gasket but strange?

    I was worried about that. Went to a place near me called camerons got a special bolt. Was something wierd inbetween metric fine and extra fine threads. Wouldnt have forced anything:happy107: if anything the threads are too slim and oil is creeping up. Went in hand tight nice and smooth. Youre...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Ok so heres my update ive been very busy meant to look into shit for real over the weekend, didnt get to. But i noticed one thing, i had a slight bit of coolant pooled up on top of the intake manifold right where it meets the heads. Sitting against the valve covers. Sooo prolly thermostat is...

    Head gasket but strange?

Im sure most of yall wanna slap me for not figuring this out yet, but this is only my second project besides for a 67 k25 me and a buddy raised from the dead. So im in the...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Oh and heres where the leak runs down. You can see on the left side where its about to drip off. Drivers side of that is always worse.

    Head gasket but strange?

    Which again brings my point today of how strange this is. Like i said, you saw the picture of what it looked like before. Today? Straight plain old oil again. It rained on and off all day today. So i think the who condesation and mixing on the ground theory could be bust. Heres a pic of the leak...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Yes have considered the rear main although im prayin its not lol. Did have trouble with one valve cover though. New gasket, covers, even got the spreaders that go under the bolts to prevent warping. It almost seems to me that the corner of the head is worn down a hair maybe just from having a...

    Head gasket but strange?

    But i can say it is leaking from the engine. Runs down where the fly wheel cover usually is (dont have one on) drops off of the two corners of that, where they run at a downward angle from the engine. I can post a pic of where exactly its dripping down if anybody is so interested in that

    Head gasket but strange?

    Lol i was actually wondering " why the fuck dont they make a dye for leaks" last night. So thats good to hear. I agree, trans mix usually looks like strawberry milk or somethin. Ive thought about the whole condensation thing it kind of makes sense but i just didnt think with as viscous as oil is...

    Head gasket but strange?

    I dont know what to make of this. Today there is nothing but plain oil spots under it, no mixed at all. Im just gonna say fuck it until/ if ever the problem rears its ugly head. Not losing really any oil or coolant. Not overheating. Not burning anything off. Just gonna have to keep an eye on it

    Head gasket but strange?

    Pcv is functioning. Brand new valve covers and gaskets. Not the issue but thanks i been wondering if the bars ever worked for anybody. $44 it damn well better

    Head gasket but strange?

    Also, cant seem to find the leak. Took a decent look. Like i said it seems to happen AFTER the engine is cool like overnight. And at that point, it all has ran off. The back of the engine is relatively dry again and if there is anything, its just plain oil not the mixed. Could it be because of...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Thats alot to take in lol. Appreciate you taking the time for all that. So basically if that did happen to be the problem, youre saying the gasses arent being exhausted through the pcv, so eventually the gasses condensate and mix with the oil, causing it to look like that? Wouldnt that just cake...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Again though wouldnt the freeze plugs just be coolant? I may be wrong

    Head gasket but strange?

    No. Losing hardly any. No burnoff or anything getting inside the cylinders just the leak.
  17. 83chevyk10

    Head gasket but strange?

    Ive actually thought about all of those. Wouldnt rear main and and distributer just be oil though? Like i said it doesnt seem to be mixing inside the engine, just whereever its leaking. I think the intake manifold is a possible bet. Idk think you guys are right im just gonna not be lazy and...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Dont exactly wanna drain my oil and coolant considering the radiator and dip stick look exactly how they should there doesnt seem to be any mixing internally. Just whereever the leak is. But i would think there has to be some kind of problem if im leaking coolant and oil mix:rotflmao:

    Head gasket but strange?

    Just confused on how it would be leaking this yet there doesnt seem to be any mixing internally? Cant seem to find the leak either because it goes dry after i run it and it all leaks off

    Head gasket but strange?

    We can all agree though this is antifreeze mixed with oil though correct? Its not gear oil or anything. I have a 700r4 automatic and its leaking at the back of the motor nowhere near the diff.

    Head gasket but strange?

    Noticed the usual foamy white oil under my pickup, but am a bit confused because neither my dip stick or my radiator has any evidence of it actually mixing internally. Drove it a few times no white smoke and no sign of over heating at all. Even after driving, the truck doesnt seem to leak it...

    Toggle switch ignition?

    So. After 3 months i finally got to drive my chevy:cheers: did the switch worked great. Youre right about bumping it though. Will probably find a momentary switch and find a spot to make it look proffesional. Kind of like using the switch, makes it feel like a race car lol. Was gonna try the NSS...

    Toggle switch ignition?

    Also, you put emphasis on the momentary switch. Could be wrong but im assuming the momentary switch means it converts power only while youre holding the switch down. Could be wrong. You think the interupting/ toggle switch will be fine? Just using my knowledge i figured it would be fine as long...

    Toggle switch ignition?

    I am. Anything residential. Plumbing, carpentry, electric, from drywall to roofing i do it. Maybe i could offer advice on that lol. Been doing it since i could walk. Wouldve done the same thing though. Had to tear up wetbed enough times to avoid it any way i can. If you can work on a vehicle you...

    Toggle switch ignition?

    sorry i meant the reverse lights. Although the brake lights dont work either:happy175: was thinking maybe since im having this problem and my reverse lights also dont work, it may also be an indicator that its the NSS. Also if bypassing the switch doesnt work, i picked up the stuff today to...
