Headgasket Shoot?
#1

so for the alst month, my car has started to consume coolant, at first I didnt think much of it, assuming it was due to cold weather and maybe some overflow lost....

but yesterday I noticed I had less than an inch of coolant in the tank, way below low... :huh:

I also noticed that my manifold clamp on cylinder #1 was being crushed by the circle clamp, so I fixed that and made sure that manifold perfect and it was. :)

I figured I'd change my plugs back to the stock ones instead of running the cold plugs.

so I removed them and I had over and inch of oil in the #1 plug... damn, oil blow by into the valve cover middle section where the plug go, ok, not that big of a deal there neither, maybe a bad fit on the groomets that space the valve cover...

all the plug seemed fine, none white.... :huh:

look at the oil very intensivle and it look just perfect, clear and black golden shine, not milky at all and not coffee color....

wtf went my coolant?


I am gonna go have a pressure test done on the coolant system this week and find out.

my dad which is a class A mopar tech for over 35 years say maybe it only leak in very cold weather and that why its seem so weird. he saw this happen before.

anyway, I was bored and felt like letting ya know.
