ps for 45 psi u woulda shoulda coulda been better off to remove stockers one at a time, clean thoroughly, bottom tap hole, clean it thoroughly too, and torque to 107# using my pattern
been pushing upwards of 60 psi to a 6bt of mine done that way - trying to blow it up - or at least lift the head but it just keeps on motorin. want it to grenade so i can build a sick motor for it but the damn thing just wont die
if the nutz would stop breaking i would stick with the $400 studs
what's up guys.. i put a head gasket on my truck about 5 or 6 months ago because it was seeping antifreeze out of the back passengers side of the engine.. now it seems that i have the same problem again.. i did everything by the book (head milled flat, pressure checked for cracks, proper torque sequence, etc.).. somewhere on here i saw a thread about how numbers 5 and 6 cylinders hold high coolant pressures and either blow head gaskets or blow out core plugs.. and maybe there's a way to by-pass the excess coolant to the radiator side of the system.. i was just wondering if someone could enlighten me on this or if there's something else i should know about doing head gaskets on these trucks..
update.. just took off turbo and exhaust manifold.. the antifreeze leak i thought i had turns out to be oil.. it was IN the exhaust manifold for cylinders 4 and 6.. anyone know what this could be?
Valve guide seals?
