 Topic: Crack vs. bad gasket in B engine
Posted: 04 Jun 2010 at 3:23pm |

There's a B I saw advertised that has coolant getting into the engine. What are the chances it's an actual crack somewhere in the engine vs. just a bad gasket?

It is usually head gasket or "O" rings on sleeves. Head gasket is easy. "O" rings are a little harder.

Or the often overlooked core plugs in the top of the head rusted out. The core plugs are a cheap easy fix.

buy it at a price for the worse . I bought a d14 and new it was a core plug the only promblem was the guy had liquid glassed the thing and the motor needed a complete overhaul.
