Its developed a thirst for coolant. Again.
It wasn't actually a headgasket failure. I bought a full top end gasket kit due to extreme coolant loss. Turned out the lower intake manifold gaskets where completely gone. I replaced the HG purely because I had the engine torn down that far. When I did the repair I went into it thinking I lost the HGs. It has yet to overheat. I'd love for it to be as simple as a headgasket failure. I really would.
That small of an amount of coolant over a couple weeks is not a huge amount. (if you drive it more than a few miles a week, that is!)
The heads where checked, and well withing spec. I did skip milling and a valve job against my own better judgement. If this is what I get for cheaping out, then so be it. I will gladly fix it again.
Were the heads warped at all? I'm just curious because if not you may want to check the block surface while you have the heads off. If there's no warpage there, it may be worth getting at least that head pressure tested and make sure it's doesn't have a leak in there somewhere.
Good Luck, I hope everything works out for you.
