got home from the meet and smelt antifreeze, did some investigating and found out its comming from the head. funny thing is car runs fine and exaust doesnt smell sweet. i used felpro head gaskets, should i be using a different kind other than felpro??
coming from the head where ? It could be an intake gasket ... I would be surprised to find that you blew a head gasket naturaly aspirated . If your oil isn't milky or smelling it coming from the exhaust .... Then I would say it's an external leak somewhere .
its comming from the head near the back of the block, and its coming from the middle of the head not the top near the intake. thats y i think its a head gasket
It seems weird that that would happen on a natural car . Did you try pressuring up the coolant system with a test pump .. and see where it comes from . If it is the head gasket .. Try retorquing it . If you have to pull the heads ..Check the head and deck surface with a staight edge .
John,go down to your local Auto Zone and ask to borrow their coolant pressure system tester pump .It will be with there loan a tool program.If you use it on the premises they will not charge you a deposit,I think its around 75 dollars if you carry it home and use ,but they give your money back when you return it .Anyway ,let the car cool down to take the radiator cap off. Then put the tester on and pump the pressure to not more than 15 pounds .Watch the head where you think that it is leaking .Then watch for other places where you suspect problems.The gauge will fall as the system leaks off pressure ,so you may need to pump it up more than one time. This is the easiest way to find an external leak...in my opinion. George
