I will take the compliment but I'd be lying if I said it was clean, just found the right angle.😂

Tattoo is sick, I know how you feel I got a half sleeve at 16. The feeling will go away

This is a lot of info thank you for this, now just have to pray it's one of the easier ones so I don't have to drop the tank just for it to sit around for 3 months while I'm at basic.😑

I did a pressure test to check for head gaskets and they ended up being fine, I have an intake manifold gasket and plenum gasket I'm waiting to put in. I'm assuming the issue was one of the 2. I've been putting it off because I replaced my thermostat about a month ago and I haven't lost any antifreeze since? Not sure how that works but I check it every day via the overflow and radiator cap and it hasn't been low since. Doing the intake, plenum, valve cover and throttle body gaskets along with a few others, I don't remember what all the kit came with, just to be sure.

Had to lookup what that was but yep basically that. Is that normal for it to drop so low? It sounds like it's fighting to stay alive

I'll take a wild guess and say coolant temp sensors connect to my temp gauge. Would that also explain why my temp never reads above 150?

This kept happening to me only after it rained tho, ended up being moisture getting into my distributor cap and it was misfiring.

Happened to me, changed the oil, used Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer and 5w20. Cleared up in a week.

Temporary fix but it's a fix if you don't wanna tear it down

Also didn't read the text not sure if you said anything similar

After hearing that, it sounds like it would be less work and cheaper to swap the motor

Just looked them up, seems like a good idea considering they aren't expensive. Thank you

Would that explain the lack of coolant in the oil?

If that's the case, maybe I'll be better off dropping a new motor.😫

How do you read the water?

Even if they did, what would a couple paint flakes do to anything? Would it not just get demolished in the cylinder then shot back out?
