In Reply To Thanks - will try! Will also get a HC test for my coolant posted by ZUL8R on August 04, 2014 at 10:31 AM
     
Message Ok, bought the napa leakdown tester, ran it at 100 psi, and here are the results.

No air leakage from dipstick, radiator cap, or exhaust, that I could tell.

Cylinder 1 = 60% loss
Cylinder 2 = 60% loss
Cylinder 3 = 80% loss
Cylinder 4 = 80% loss
Cylinder 5 = 60% loss - was spraying coolant mist out cylinder 3
Cylinder 6 = 60% loss - I could smell coolant coming from cylinder 4

As for the other cylinder leak points, it was very hard to tell. I wasn't sure if it was coming from balance tube opening or the adjoining cylinders. It seemed to almost be coming from within the block.

I think this means head gasket? Do the results point to anything else as well?

Thanks for all the help on this.
