We have been having overheating issues with our '64 dailey driver (in line 292) we found oil in the coolant- no white exhaust smoke and no other issues except getting very hot- we pulled the head last night expecting to see an obvious blown head gasket but I can see no place where the gasket was corrupted- no cracks in the head anywhere. Any other suggestions as to how the oil is getting into my cooling system? Am I missing someting obvious? Any help or suggestiosn would be appreciated- Thanks

A crack in the head or block somewhere you can't see.
You were "Hoping" for a blown head gasket... cause that would of been an easy fix...

Like CASO said, cracks are hard to see with the eye. Better get it magnafluxed.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
