Tired and frustrated with the glycol in oil leak..

...being one of the resident internet expert's I thought I better get in on this thread as well.

Don't have a clue, you've covered the bases nicely.

I did like Rick's idea of under water testing for bubbles, I've had good luck with that finding very small leaks in tires. I don't currently have any freon or gas type leak detection tools, so a water bath would have to do for me.

Taste of glycol is a key element in this exercise, very telling.

On removing the heads: Head bolts no problem, HEADER bolts are a PITA however!

Uhhh, Ernie... before he disassembles his engine and puts his block under water, wouldn't you like to see a season with the ol' tried 'n true Blue Thunder intake back on it?
