351 W Head problem update By Bob S. - 04/21/2005 4:31:04 PM; IP 66.67.11.206 OK, so, we pulled the head, replaced seals and checked the guides, all are ok. Replaced the head, intake and waited 24hrs. Fed water to the block which held (good first sign), then started the motor. We expected to see smoke coming out of the right bank due to the previous start and subsequent oil problems. It did smoke and continued to smoke. Then, again, oil out of number 4 beneath the header gasket. Oil also spattering out of the header collecter and tailpipe. So...while running the car, there is no vacuum from the valve covers which means that our intake gasket is seated correctly, we do however get a slightly greater than expected positive pressure from both valve covers. I called Mac's auto parts in Lockport NY and a guy there said it sounds like a cracked cylinder head. Now, I didn't inspect the head with any great dilligence prior to the most recent install, so I can't be certain. Does anyone else have any ideas on what could be causing this oil problem in #4? Thanks

This thread, so far...
