Big Setback, drained all the creamy oil.. we'll pressure test radiator ( GMC rad,was was sent to me by a friend)..it was checked also. Rebuild guy won;t want to hear this news...Engine block and head was Dyna fashed...what could cause this? We will turn engine today with starter, remove the plugs to see if water spurts out of any...any other suggestions?.about ready to give up! mtvoices... | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy mtvoices, sorry about your problems, I have never heard/read the term "Dyna fashed", is that another name for Magnafluxing? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | Was the block and head resurfaced?

It is possible you used the wrong head gasket.

I talk to this guy monday, but I have the feeling he will try to get out of taking back engine to check it out..I hope I'm wrong..I supplied the gaskets, and they were very good ones..150.00 for the entire set. I'm just sick at this whole project coming down to a pinhole or a crack that he might have missed. Milky oil all over the grage floor..uggh!

And then compare that to what the mech says...
Just to check how much I trust his knowledge and honesty.
Give me ambiguity
