at wits end

So I'm at my wits end, as stated in other post I have had to replace my head gasket, I had problems with my intake gasket so I replaced it for a second time, now I have a fuel leak and am still getting coolant in the cylinders, I have done a compression test and leakdown test, passed both. What do I do next?

It usually is going to leak between the #2 and #3 cylinders if the head is warped, or maybe you accidentally installed the head gasket upside down, like I have seen another poster do. IDK if it was on this forum, or the mazdatrucking forum, but they were actually driving it like that with the gasket installed upside down and backwards. Only thing you can do is re-torque and look betwixt the block and head on both sides to see if you see gasket hanging out anywhere. I know how you feel.


Aaaarrghhh!!!

if the intake manifold is warped you can still get coolant in the cylinders from that.

This is copied from the thread titled..,

Head gasket oil leak solved.

See how the gasket is upside down and backwards?? It still ran like that.

This could be the condition you are having too.

again..,

Aaarrgghhh!!

Mine does not have the orange lines, its some cheapo I bought because I didn't get the one I orderd with my first intake gasket, I'm about ready to "blue glue" the s&!+ out of my intake and hope for the best.

And I still caint figure out where the fuel is coming from

The head gasket is upside down. See how the oil journal in the middle does not line up?? This could be why you are getting coolant in your cylinders. IDK if this is what is wrong, but you might have to just start tearing it apart slowly, and hope you do not have a total "Do-over"

The strangest thing happened today, I was driving around looking for a fuel pump ( found the fuel leak) and the truck got a little warmer than it useually does, stooed by the shop and let it completly cool down added coolant and it stoped smoking. No more smoke and isn't useing coolant at the moment, maby it fixed itsself.

If it doesn't use or lose coolant, that's a good thing.

Well crap on that, it started again, I'm going to perform a pressure test and see where that leads.
