Re: Blown head gasket or cracked head or...?

Okay so quick update since I hate when I'm on a forum trying to diagnose something and it always goes unresolved. So I had a few issues that sprung up together that made it seem like a bigger problem than it was. Starting with my cracked reserving which was making it seem like I was "magically&...

Re: Blown head gasket or cracked head or...?

Just a heads up I have a multi layer steel gasket on my turbo manifold. And I don't currently have a gasket on my turbo/downpipe. Turbo is oil cooled only. Still no milky oil. Coolant is all water since it works best here in Texas. Could I try some sort of dye to see if this coolant/water coming out...

Re: Blown head gasket or cracked head or...?

You know I had read about old DSMs having that issue and the same fix but didn't know if it applied to KAs. I'll make sure to try that next weekend I'm off. And I did actually have to remove that stud because it had been snapped off by previous owner. When I installed the turbo manifold I don't reca...

Re: Crank no start

One or more injectors are probably stuck open. Remove your fuel rail with your injectors still attached and slip a towel at the ends of the injectors.

Prime your pump and see which injector is leaking. Be very careful as trying to start a car with an injector stuck open could get pretty nasty.

Re: Blown head gasket or cracked head or...?

UPDATE: forgot about this post since it didn't get much traffic but I'm not losing anymore coolant after replacing what I found to be a cracked reservoir. Last I checked I'm still leaking some coolant right under cylinder #1 on the manifold and still leaking out of the area where the downpipe bolts ...

No. It's an older turbonetics t3t4 journal bearing. Oil fed only.
