what symptoms you getting?

oil and water mix

ive had the head pressure checked

it happened before so i thought it was the head not sealing on the gasket

but im still getting the same symptoms

ive just by passed the oil modine, but now i carnt get the car started to clear the mix out the water system

its only been on the road 2 days, and its happened again, im hoping its the modine but need to get the car started to clear the shit out of it

if its not that then i can only think of the block is cracked somewhere though i couldnet see any cracks by the headbolts and its long studded aswell

but it put 3/4 of my oil into the water system in 2 days, so thats why i think it could be modine or cracked block

Did the temperature of the water rise a lot if you held it on boost for a bit?

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

nope

temperature has always been perfect

no pressure in header tank,no misfire, fans kicked in and out, car runs at half away on temp gauge, etc

when my block cracked around the head studs, I got the mayo and the temp rose quite quickly in 4th/5th held on boost. Modine is a good idea

thats what im going to try, well as soon as i can figure out why the car isnt starting now anyhow lol

no cracks around the bolts holes, even took the studs out to check round there and all fine

so its either a crack in the block somewhere else or the modine is fukt

im hoping modine as that carrys a lot of oil, and to dump all my oil into the water system in 2 days something isnt rite

Oh, and the oil is going into the water, not water going into the oil?
