well today i did the dye test and it did fail that too. i made a post about2 weeks ago where i said my cometic might be blown. my overflow has boiled over once and i'm losing a small bit of coolant. if i do have a leaky HG it's extremely mild. can doesn't overheat, no smoke, etc. even when i did the test today, the blue dye only turned slightly yellow. last time i blew a stocker the fluid went piss yellow.
i think i'm going to try a retorque. i did use studs torqued to 95ft. lbs. i don't know how the hell this happened. the block and head were both vut extremely smooth.
so i'm going to try a retorque and if that doesn't do it i guess i have to pull the head.
where can i get a 1/2 drive socket to fit the studs.
on a side note the only thing i can think of is while i was at etown acouple of months ago, i had the FCD feature on the MAFTPRO messed up and i went a tad lean and broke the cermanic from the sparkplug. i was spraying an ass load of methanol and i think that saved my motor.
maybe i detonated and blew the HG. that is the only thing i can think of.
do you all think the block and head will still be in good shape. i really don't want to have to re machine stuff
