Started the Head Gasket repair process. Removing the valve cover was super simple
Removing the head was just as easy. Only one bolt gave me any trouble but it was nothing PB Blaster and a light touch of an impact wrench couldn’t fix
Got quite a bit of corrosion in the cooling channels. I’m going to have to flush it a few times once it’s all put back together.
All in all it seems like it’s in pretty good shape
Dropped the head off at a local machinist that was highly recommended and hoping to have it back this week.
Interesting this tho, when I drained the oil it all came out black. I was expecting it to be contaminated with water but it actually looked good other than being way past due for an oil change. The head gasket looked good as well and I really didn’t see any signs of it being blown.
I’ve come to the realization that so far the only place the oil is milky is in the dip stick. I’m going to drop the oil pan tonight to have a look but has anyone else seen this before? If it wasn’t for the dip stick being milky you wouldn’t think anything was wrong with it. I’m worried the problem may be in the block.
