Blown Head gasket? I went to check my oil today and when I wiped it on the rag I thought it had a greenish color to it. I also checked the coolant and the coolant dipstick had crud on it and never did before. When I wiped it off there was black crud on the rag. I have never had this before when I checked the coolant. Did I blow a head gasket? Has anyone had similiar findings? It's a 02 Z28 and I installed a SLP lid and CAI about 2 weeks ago. The temp gauge has never gone over 210 and no warning lights ever. What is wrong.
Re: Blown Head gasket? If its an 02' you still probably have the factory warranty on it, go get it serviced <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: Blown Head gasket? I too have been having problems with coolant and such. I have the yellowish paste under the oil filler cap. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Did you check your plugs to see if there is any trace of coolant getting into the combustion chambers? I changed mine this morning and found the #1 & #3 wet.(oil) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I have even dropped the exhaust to see if water would come out of the headers. (None so far) I've heard of people unbolting the headers to see if there is any coolant puddled up in the exhaust port of the head.
