Yeah man, sounds like it could be a head gasket. If your running a antifreeze it should smell kinda sweet. Another clue is to look at the plug, if there is water in the hole, the plug should look brand spanking new from being steam cleaned. Quote
chetgoff Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Posted February 20, 2010 thanks for the reply the plugs did look really really clean. thats what i figured it was cause it was great a couple weeks ago and i pulled the head to check pistons and did not replace gasket stupid me. Quote
