Default Losing a little antifreeze...

Seems that N/A and WOT I do not loose any.. Spray my 100 shot and check it and some has been lost.

How bad is it? Is there a way to tell if its the heads lifting or a blown head gasket?


I wanna go to the 150 shot but after discovering this, I dont think it would be a wise idea. Any thoughts?

Try a compression test. If you blew a HG I think it would show in the compression test.

Mine passed that test well. Then out of the blue it starts sucking water. Do not get me wrong I know when it happened and how.

That sucks. I guess because it wasn't really broke more deformed it didn't effect it as much. When I blew my HG in the buick the middle cylinder blew where a inch gap and the back cylinder was just really streched.

Cylinder pressure is probally high. You can always take some timing out and see if it resloves it. Otherwise some head studs and a gasket replacement will be needed.

I changed the oil a month or so ago and I noticed it before that. The oil seemed/looked fine, just a little dirty. Will a blown head gasket leak antifreeze in the oil?

it depends on where the gasket blows. when mine went it didnt. if it did the oil will look milky.
