Upon getting it home, transferring the title from two owners prior, adding a battery and little fuel, we were able to get the truck running and confirmed blown
head gaskets without any leakdown test.
Also, you could have a blown
head gasket without it leaking into the oil.
Not exact matches
A failing
head gasket might also be leaking oil out of the block, which could explain a large loss of oil
without an equal gain in the coolant level.
What you say about the failure mode is plausible, but I've had a coolant reservoir crack
without any issues with the
head gasket or cooling system.
Without knowing the specifics of your vehicle, you should see loss of coolant if the
head gasket is bad, and even then loss of coolant could be due to other reasons.
I recently did a
head gasket repair on my 1986 Kawasaki GPZ1000RX and now that everything is back together it starts up fine, idles fine, and revs high
without a problem while in neutral, but when I put it into gear and started driving it it'll drive fine when giving it slight throttle, but when I get to the higher revs, or when I open the throttle too quickly it bogs down badly, and starts stuttering, but eventually starts revving higher and leveling out.
Does a Subaru
without a turbo ever burn its number 4 cylinder exhaust valves and require
head gaskets?
