update
Firstly, for me, its extremely important poor information does not get propagated.
At the end of the day, this has been a complex and exasperating exercise.
It has tricked me at times.... I am a professional technician. :(
My driver side head gasket is blown at rear near firewall. It holds pressure most of the time. It leaks just a minuscule amount
It leaks External. Oil is clean, coolant is clean. Some very small amount of combustion gasses maybe getting into coolant system at HIGH RPM's
This is the REAL reason my coolant wont transfer back
This is the list of coolant issues I discovered in the 6 months I have owned this project car.
#1 Heater core coolant leak > Replaced
#2 Oil cooler coolant leak > Deleted > system finally pressurized after these two repairs.
#3 Thermostat sticking closed > replaced > corrected heat spike for no reason.
#4 Blown head gasket >
Anyway, I'm going to tear down engine next week, install cam, springs, lifters, and gaskets. Mill heads if needed
Thanks for the sounding board.
Willie
