STROKER_T Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Anybody seen the oil manifolds (under the valve covers) turn a brownish color,like a rust build up,and the bottom side of the valve covers have a fine undercoating like layer? Looks like water was in the crankcase,but not to the point of milking...any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneGorniak Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yup, Headgaskets! I see condensation buildup like that in an engine alot when the heads are liftin off the block. I suggest checking your cooling system pressures as per the headgasket TSB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the one, where the guy took the truck after I diaged it and was plowing for over a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherH Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Ditto--I have seen that a few times when the head gaskets get really bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
