July 26, 200520 yr Yup, I beleave I lost the head gaskets. I cannot get her started: after noticing the spark pulses were not consistent, I swapped the ditsy to see if that was the case. Well, when I pulled the ditsy out, the oil looked more like a chocolate milk shake instead of oil. WONDERFUL! I then looked at the dipstick and same stuff: chocolate milkshake. Not as thick as the stuff at the ditsy, but it's there. Compression test time! Cyl 1: just under 60 Cyl 3: 90 Cyl 2: about 60 Cyl 4: roughly 60 also Now, the pressures used to be about 150psi all the way around. NASA, we have a problem. DRAT! :banghead::banghead:
July 26, 200520 yr That's too bad, man, FIXIN TIME!! Sorry to hear of your loss. Hope everything goes well with the rebuild.
July 26, 200520 yr Author Thanks, man. I'm goning to contact CCR and see if I'm still under warranty. Guess I got her too hot.
July 27, 200520 yr Author Well, engine overheating is not under warranty. So, I'm going to rebuild it myself. From what I've been told, it's just the head gaskets that let go. So, I spent the day cleaning out the garage, so I have a place to rebuild the engine. Oh what fun!
