Ford1 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Would like some idea's on how to test for Compression gases in the cooling system and to determine where it could be coming from, cracked head or head gasket or ? I used a napa kit and the liquid turned from blue to yellow. I have to deal with a wrecking yard that I bought the engine from on my conversion to a 3.4L and want to sound some what intelligent because I have a 90 day warranty. The water is being pushed out into the overflow with an 18 lb cap and moisture out the exhaust pipe Any help or ideas would sure be apprecited, Thnx R/ :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 what kind of moisture? black, or white? moisture in general is acceptable...i put out ALOT of moisture with my truck. the emissions station will only put my truck on the rollers for around half a minute before they pass it out since it's sooo far below 1986 emission standards (haven't declared that it has a new motor, and don't intend to)...most of my exhaust IS water vapor, as it should be. as stated, have a leak-down test done.

mvusse Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Head gasket! Do not run the engine. Coolant in the oil will mess up your bearings (main and rod) big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
