[QUOTE="Stalker27, post: 10628790, member: 66269"] Welp it's official now. Deff a head gasket. I looked at my overflow tank and the coolant was all the way to the bottom. I opened the crossover then opened the overflow to put on my new cap for the overflow tank. Strange that soon as I opened it the tank that was previously all the way to the bottom magically filled up in front of my eyes to the add fill line. I put the cap on and put the funnel into the crossover so I could burp the car knowing I just created an air pocket from having both caps open. After a few min at idle I started noticing blackish brownish dots floating in the coolant. I walked to the back and yep.. White smoke comming out pretty damn good but didn't smell all that sweet. Walked back to the front of the car and noticed ALOT more brownish spots floating in the coolant funnel. This is when I shut the car down and not even bothering with a pressure tester. Here's intresting: there is still nothing on the dipstick. I guess I caught it in time before any real serious damage was done. Question, should I still do a leakdown? I'm thinking of taking the motor out by dropping engine out from the bottom but wondering, what would be the best method of jacking ut up so high on the ground as I'm doing this myself and a couple really good friends helping along the way For anyway that's ever taken a motor out from the botto do you have any pointers that might help along the way?
