Here is what I have done to the head:
1. New Head gasket
2. Had Head Milled Flat
3. Torqued all bolts to 75lbs/ft.
I think the head is cracked or has cracks in it. Based on the following
tests:
1. Accidently left hood open and it rained on the engine, I turned it over
and noticed bubbles coming from around the 3 row from front middle head
bolt.
2. I then used my air gun off my compressor to pressurize each cylinder to
90psi and listened to the exhaust and intack manifold to see if valves were
leaking, they were not. Bubbles again formed around the bolt again.
3. I then as I had it pressurized check to see if I was getting any excess
pressure in the water jacket, non felt.
Because of the above reasons I believe I have a nice little crack. Going
to take to Napa and have M. Fluxed. Should of done that when I had the head
off the first time. When and if they find a crack, I will then proceed to
weld it up myself with my wire feed welder and grind it down.
Does this sould like the correct anwser to the problem. What would you do
to fix the problem. Thanks in advance.
