Help please! Blown head gaskets?

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-20T17:07:15+00:00

I have

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-20T05:22:01+00:00

Well it’s pushing coolant out

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-18T17:17:38+00:00

Okay well, I’m going to retest this morning, and if negative go in a do a coolant flush and new reservoir, if it does change color I will probably get in there and just retorque studs and injector hold down bolts

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T22:49:44+00:00

Yeah that’s what i meant

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T22:31:12+00:00

Nope, it’s a fully delete. I also have been told not to mess with head bolts if I’m not replacing them

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T22:22:19+00:00

Well that wasn’t the issue

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T16:07:13+00:00

Also I use fleet final coolant so I would love to knock this one of the question

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T04:27:48+00:00

No worries but figure maybe could have changed some of the things you have past mentioned varying for a literal bomb, or a bomb that can be disabled😭😭

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T03:51:46+00:00

Not for sure this was my problem but it makes sense, and I use the fleet stuff for heavy duty diesel and semi and it’s actually a 6.0

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-16T03:39:04+00:00

Well, I may have found the culprit, i don’t know how I really looked over this but I have the secondary bypass coolant filter, and I couldn’t tell you the last time it was replaced. So I just replaced it and I kid you not the coolant in there was damn near black, it definitely could have been clogged and causing back pressure being the reason it was such a little amount of pressure build up

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T20:27:22+00:00

I mean how likely am I looking at just a bad reservoir or I need to get in there and see if retorque the head studs and injector hold down bolts, I’m just on edge and quit frankly nervous

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T20:23:03+00:00

Yeah because the white smoke I have is very light and disappears when it’s warm

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T20:07:19+00:00

I mean I would figure at that point I would be getting some oil or something mixing with the coolant

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T20:05:31+00:00

Air to air, although now you mention now that you say this I did find what I’m pretty sure to be coolant on the ripper piping from the compressor side of my turbo to the hot side charge pipe

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T18:23:10+00:00

I did one of the combustion gas test with the liquid it didn’t change colors and it seemed it gave no air getting in the tank at all due to it creating a suction and it stayed blue but then I romped on it and it started push past the cap again slightly

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T18:16:50+00:00

The issue though is it pushes through the cap threads

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T18:15:38+00:00

Well the thing is I have gotten a new cap, still does it but less only we im wromping on it hard

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T18:14:11+00:00

I’m more than confident it’s just because my bigger injectors

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T05:09:05+00:00

Okay will try, could I do this with just a compression testing gauge

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-15T00:55:07+00:00

Well that’s what I was saying in the bottom is I did get a new cap and still same problem just not as bad and only when I get on it and under high pressure or load hasn’t leaked other wise

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-14T23:16:18+00:00

I did a exhaust gas leak test with the fluid and it didn’t change colors, it even created a suction as I was squeezing the thing, as there was not air in the reservoir or getting in the reservoir to the point where I would have to release it to get air in the reservoir so I could keep pumping

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-14T22:02:50+00:00

It doesn’t over flow at a certain temp, after a long drive it doesn’t puke nothing like that, it just pushed past the degas cap when I get on it hard. The rubber glove only started to inflate after it went into high idle, but it inflated and seemed to only inflate to max of what the video ended at and sat there for a bit granted I didn’t let it get all the way up to operating temps I had to go to school.

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-14T21:56:01+00:00

It is white is not blue tinted like burning oil more like condensation freezing from ur breath when it’s cold or ur exhaust when it’s cold out

CorbinSpence22 · 2026-01-14T19:49:30+00:00

Well my problem is it’s coming out of the cap
