Hello all-
I just picked up a 6.5 hummer take out from GL it was listed in HX
condition, upon getting it home and tearing into it, I found it had coolant
in the oil, and oil in the coolant. The heads had been pulled and there are
no obvious cracks in them. I pulled the oil pan which hadn't been touched
and checked the main journals for cracks and couldn't find any. The
cylinders and pistons look good. I'm guessing it had a head gasket leak. So
here is the question would this be a common practice to pull a motor with
just a head gasket leak? I cant figure out why they would pull the heads and
not replace the gaskets and re-assembly it. Any insights into this?
If you need the block numbers or anything like that give me a holler. I'm in
the process of getting some pictures up on the net as well.
Thanks,
Erik
