Hi, I have a 2wd sapphire with water in the sump, I removed head and the Hgasket sealed great, Im running ARP stud and nut kit on 205 block, 145,000miler. Who can check my head and block for porousity and leaks under pressure etc? I want to find the route cause of this before selling the parts on as I hate messing buyers about . I have a new engine being built so parts are ready FOR SALE as soon as I have these items checked...HELP NEEDED Ta

 

Probably cracked the block due to using the studs and nuts if they're the short ones, and not the long mountune type.

 

Possible then as the head looks mint inside and out, no marks or visible damage so block will be removed Cheers ^NUTTER^

 

Hi,

May be Modine defective. It is rare but why not ?

Regards

Claude

 

"2001ode" I have checked everywhere that water and oil cool/warm each other, Turbo, Modine, head, block. Turbo was replaced with a NEW T34 .48, and I also checked the modine using mains pressure water hose and neither had contamination. Head looks fine but want it checked for soft spots, leaks etc to be sure and the only item not checked so far is the block, bores look sound, still no rust after 6months sat with the head off, and the stud threads have no visible cracks at the deck face so maybe on the sump side???

Anyway I decided to have another engine to be sure and will strip the old 205 block at my leisure and check the items for defects before selling the good parts on, just to be 100% sure. Regards Mark C
