steady Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 I have been chasing a leak and cant find it. Just got through putting my 4mil togethor, and ran the test only to lose all six pounds in about 3 mins. I have sprayed everything visible and no bubbles. I decided to spray around the radiator and i have bubbles coming out around it. What does that mean? Does it mean the head seals are on wrong? I am not suppose to block the radiator lines am i? help would be appreciated before i do a complete tear down. Quote
andrew3160 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 You can do the leak down test with the fluids in it. I would say you have a leak in the head gasket. Spray around the leak down tester and boots that block off the exhaust. Sometimes they leak too. Quote
Phelps Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 means you pinched one of the brown dome O rings installing the head... assuming you are running a aftermarket head... if not you may need to retorque the head if it's stock Quote
