Confirm this possible bad HG and make me cry
#31
Yes I sealed the bolts though not sure how good a job I did and I may have been lazy cleaning them. I may redo the bolts since I wont have to drop the oil pan to do that and see if that helps. That's a 20 minute "fix" if it works. How bad of a crack would a cylinder crack be if it leaks around 2 gal/week?

huge, again I would suggest a pressure tester.
if you losing the much coolant I would think under pressure you would be able hear it running into the oil pan
Also have to checked rug on the passenger side, could be a heater core
is the 8 quarts of coolant showing up in the oil pan?

I have the green coolant so it should be safer. And from what I understand over time the coolant can cause the oil to become more alkaline which is what eats the coating off the bearings. That's not to say added friction wont hurt it either. I'm just stuck between a rock and a hard place really.

When there is any suspicion of coolant entering block/oil/cylinders, releasing the coolant pressure from the reservoir cap should had been a mandatory action every time after shutting engine off, otherwise coolant {under pressure} leaks into everything for a looong time, even all night.
