Re: head gasket question

Blown head gasket generally runs hot and pushes coolant out the overflow, if you are getting water in the oil it is probably a bad intake gasket. You did not say if it was running well for a while and then just happened , or if it was a fresh rebuild,

Re: head gasket question

Well I rented a cooling tester, I pressured the system and it did not leak.
I gave it about ten min, my oil level hasn't changed. The first time it back fired the motor was still cold ran less then 2 min . The second time it did it I had gone .3 miles so it didn't make it far.

The time I went about a mile in it was the first time it had been on the street. I found no gauges worked well nothing worked. So I don't know how hot it got but it ran well.


When I picked up this 50 it wasn't running had been sitting for about 3 years. I rebuilt the carb the timing was a mess. gave it new plugs wires oil ext..

Re: head gasket question

its kind of hard to see but every dark spot on the intake had standing antifreeze on it.
