yo2001 Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Well, I've having hissing sound that sounded like I had an exhaust leak. I got around taking some of my plumbings and heat shield. Then I found my problem. On #5, my head gasket was leaking. But I had no coolant pressure built, water in the oil nor oil in my radiator. I've had no mark on the side of the block and the compression test was good. (I guess Ishould have done the leak down.) The gasket must have cracked right in between the oil hole and water jacket. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony240ZT Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 hope to see pics of the gasket after you pull it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Is that a factory gasket? How did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo2001 Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 Yes, it's a factory gasket. Well, I can't tell you why it blew but I know I was dropping octane from bad oil leak from a turbo. And I was frogging it around 12-16 psi on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
