Hello All!
here some photos of what i found yesterday when lifting my head...
the Car was burning water (about 1 liter per 100km), so i checked first the obvious things (pressure test radiator, and no leak, New radiator cap, and water pump), water pump is leaking, but that is another story....
I found cylinder 6 plug wet with water and so i decided to pull the head off.
I found rust in cylinder 5 and 6, confirming water coming in.
Cylinder 5 sleve is 2 thou below clinder bloc level. the other are 10 thou over.
I would like to kindly ask you what my cylinder head gasket tells you.
The cylinder block seems fine to me. not much corrosion, but the back of the block is full of slush.
What do you think of the figure 8 gaskets at the bottom of the sleeves? they seems to be flaking apart. They looks the paper type.
by reading on other section of forum it seems I have a too low protrusion. I see up to 30 thou is suggested! when the book says 6 thou.
How do you suggest to takle this? i belive at this stage the engine must come off...
