The degas tank was puking coolant. And smelled like exhuast.
New therm and w/p.
Did a compression test . Everything in the 160 to 180 range,
So I decided to just do the head gaskets. Have not pulled heads yet. But pretty close.
Should I do anything else while this deep. Am I on the right track? And finally is there a link on how to reset the timing after putting heads back on.
I am a little worried as I do not see very many posts on headgasket replacements of These engines
So you have good compression? I asked for the numbers in your other thread. It could just be a intake manifold gasket leak, I am 98% positive that there is a water jacket that goes through the intake manifold. Could be getting water in that way? Have you done a leakdown test?
If you have good compression I wouldn't go pulling heads off of it just yet IMO...
Clogged heater core or some blockage in the front/rear heat(if your truck has rear A/C)?
Also should have mentioned this in another thread but a pressure test of the cooling system might have been a good idea before it was torn apart, hindsight is always 20/20...

I don't know how you could have those #'s & have a bad head gasket as well.
Well my rear heat has been blowing cold for a while. I always thought it was a blend door and would get to it later. But I don't understand how that or a intake gasket can make the tank puke and smell like exhaust.
I hope it's not a head gasket. That's 300 I cold put toward springs.
I did not do a leak down. I will not go any further until I do if that test is that important. I will research if I can still do it with the intake off . I hope so.
Hey everyone. Been a little while. With winter and all. I got a warm day today and decided to pull a head. Here is what it looked like. Tell me what u think.
