Possible blown head gasket or worse
Took the head off today. Gonna upload the photos.
If I'm not mistaken the white valves indicates where the water/coolant was getting in??
I inspected the head gasket and I can't really seem to find where it leaked from. Then again since this thing was probably running dry it could have blown with no water/coolant in the block so that way it's hard to find the actual spot?
When I pulled the head off no draining was needed because that thing was empty!
I didn't see any rust in the cylinder walls?
Walls do look done though, no cross hatching on the cylinders walls so... High mileage for sure. No groove on cylinder walls up top though....
Any idea on mileage?? For sure north of 150,000 correct? Maybe 200,000?
Haven't had the chance to crank it by hand yet. I set out to try and find a bolt for the crank but I couldn't find one, and had no spare mopar engines lying around to borrow the bolt from.
Gonna upload my photos.
