I have a coolant leak and I'm not sure what IT is so wondering if someone has experience with this or has seen it. Im scared that ITs dexcool seeping into the cylinder Behind the sleeve because IT was slippinv or from a cracked block

When you all see this at the shop what did you all do or is it considered no biggie?

I'm not worried about the discoloration, im wondering if it looks related to a dexcool leak.

Did you find out What was causing this?

So noticed this today and dont remember seeing it when i pulled the heads. I know when i pulled the heads fluid went into the cylinders and i soaked it up. Could this be a slipped liner? No steam cleaning on the valves just the reddish hue on the liner. Engine didnt over heat, no ticking sound...

what do you all think on servicing the oil pump gear and gasket along with water pump. No know issue but at 184k miles I’m debating if I should.

I loosened all bolts to relieve tension. I tried a lot of different things then i had to hire a welder to come out and weld a nut on top and heat up the bolt. It finaly gave

So got the head off!! What are the thoughts on the heads?

Bolt #1 bottom left

It was the 6 point, it’s rounded off now.

Gonna head to HD and buy an impact driver, any recommendations?

5/8 socket

Yeah and the bolt stripped. I then bought a gripper socket and nothing. The thing is seized....

So changing out the head gaskets and now I’m stuck on a Headbolt that I can’t bust loose. I bought a Torch and I’m I’ve been told several different ways to do it. heat the bolt red hot and hit it then wait till it cools back down. heat the bolt red hot then wait a minute blast with penetrating...

So I’m now getting under the lower intake and noticed this??? Just burn off???
