    Supposedly. And i don't know how true it is. But Supposedly. There's some type of seal in the cylinder walls on top.

    My last job replaced a head. Supposedly it was cracked. But that didn't fix the coolant problem. Since he finally realized the blowby situation. Which was destroying the oil. He did an overhaul.
     
    cke and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Oh thats normal for an ISX :D. Most likely the egr or head gasket. How much coolant vs time?
