[QUOTE="BigRigTech, post: 11163682, member: 123849"] Today's cold start blessed me with the worst puff of smoke yet and it was sitting in my heated garage.:fm:....My old man was looking at me like "WTF?"...:eek:....I guess I will be going into this engine this winter...Is it hard to pull the heads in the car or should I just pull the engine? I have a well equipped shop at home to do it either way but I would prefer to leave it in the car. Is there any other place that the coolant could get into the intake or plenum? Has anyone here had any luck with the chemical head gasket test kits for the cooling system? Normally on large diesels we just do a "bubble test" through the rad to look for compression leaks. I might pick up a inspection cam to see if I can figure out which cylinder has coolant leaking into it when the engine cools down. [/QUOTE]
