Where is everyone #5

Dont see any cracks... So i guess we go further down this rabbit hole?? What a ####ing pain in the dick.
Whats next measure liner protrusion?

@wore out @Big Road Skateboard

 

Yeah, Look around the fire ring of the head gasket and see if you can tell where it blew. Focus your attention there. The fire ring should be shiny where it sealed. A dark or black area would indicate a leak. Post some close up pics if you're unsure

 

Head gasket looks brand new

 

Top left of cyl #5 looks questionable IMO. You definitely need to measure liner protrusion. Do you have a sled gauge?

 

I would pick the head gasket up and see what the bottom looks like. Then measure liner protrusion.

Take a really bright flash light and shine in the exhaust ports of the head your looking for tiny crystal particles the color of your antifreeze.


I kinda see a dark spot on that one fire ring I think it’s the back hole.

 

Thanks. If i remember it was 2 , 4 and 5 that was wet with coolant in exhaust manifold. Dont remember 100% though

 

I don't remember your exact problem other than losing coolant, and don't remember it being a big issue with ISX, but look over those injector cups for cracks too

 

@D.Tibbitt if you need a sled guage I can ship you one to use I have a couple so it won’t put me in a bind

 

I did test injextor cups before along time ago and didnt find any leaks . It really have no syptoms other than losing coolant . Like a gallon a day. But already ruled out egr cooler and all the other simple stufff. I just really hate when stuff makes u jump down a 50ft rabbit hole it just gets more expensive the further u go. But they say to get into trucking business its really fun

 

Much appreciated sir . I did buy sled gauge earlier because i figured it was in the cards thats what its gonna be is dropped liners.. i will pull gasket off tomorrow and report back
