This is just a minor issue that's annoying me.<br /><br />Major issue is possible blown head gasket/cracked head. I used a Blue Point block tester and the blue fluid turned a dark green color. So there's some combustion gasses getting in the coolant but not enough to turn it yellow.<br /><br />Going to try compression & leak down tests if I have time Monday. Anyway, thanks again for the replies I really do appreciate it. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>ddarkslayer</b> <br /><small>Member # 10688</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,9,9,0,6,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I wanna assume the check oil light is tucked in somewhere touching a peice of medal therefore fully functioning it <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
