I bout a 92 ford F-350 4X4 with a blown head gasket well to make along story short I had to find two new heads I had the ratator presuer check and flow tested I pulled the oil cooler put new orings in it and check it for leaks all looks good. well not so Idrove it today about 10 miles and when I got back I checked the oil it is over full and it looks like it has water in it. What do I do next

I don't know what all you went through with the heads, but did you at any point do a compression test? It might be in order now. It seems that cavitation is often misdiagnosed as blown head gaskets.

Give us a rundown of what else you took off and reinstalled other than the heads/rad. Is that the radiator you had pressure tested, how did you check the oil cooler internally for leaks.

I did both heads they had cracks I took the oil cooler to a ratator shop along whit the ratator to get cleaned and check. the truck runs good no smoke and a lot of power.

I would contact the shop that worked on the cooler and find out exactly how they did the cooler......... I will be talking this up at the shop this morning.

well tonight I messed with it I tock the ratator cap off put it back on stared the truck let it run for 30 to 45 sec shut it off and there is alot of presser I think the block is cracked.

Are you thinking cavitation possibly.......

Back at the beginning you stated your oil was overfull, how low was the coolant then. Did you drain the water/coolant from the pan yet.

You could have nicked an oring too, where did you look for leaks and what proceedure did you use to replace the orings.....

Justin_berhardt · 03-06-2007, 12:35 AM

I used a press to install the orings the coolent was 1 1/2 gallons low I think I will Pull the heads off and drop in a short block

It'd be prudent to pull the oil cooler, and pressure check it, first.

A lot of presser inthe ratator it could not be the oil cooler.
