took my sump of the 2wd today and found this, likely cause???

Head or block, head or block, head or block, taking bets now

Head gasket was sealed fine, no oil in the water just losing a lot of water to the sump

*Bri.4.b.Cos*

aint got the bottle to check mine, she uses 1ltr of water a week and no leaks anwhere

looks like head gasket, but could be wrong

mr C,

Seem's like headgasket as water getting into the oil,could be entering
from the block, can you see any cracks etc,

I removed head confident it was the YB0611 gasket after 2yrs of abuse but all cylinders were sealed and gasket was complete. No cracks yet visible in the bores but pistons are still in. I have an ARP stud and nut kit and think either head or block has split at the bolt thread maybe?? The bottom end is that gunked up I refused to just change the gasket, so I need a new crank ( its at .75 over already) and maybe a head or block??

HI,

Yeh i have heard the arp stud kit can crack the block?
with your other problems , may be better to buy a short motor.
