Just truck news. I actually

Posted on April 22, 2002 by Ian

Just truck news. I actually found out Friday, but didn’t get around to posting it until now. It seems there is a crack in either the head, or head gasket. What was happening is that compression was (is) leaking into the crank-case, and thus pressurizing the whole engine. Untold grief then ensues. The way they finally discovered it, was by trying to take the oil cap off while the engine was running ( and making it’s noise). They couldn’t get it off. They finally used pliers and a bar, and when it came off it shot up to the roof, the engine came up about 300 RPM and the noise almost died away. I’m just sitting here waiting for the estimate now….
