Back at head gasket problem

[Goose57]

Hi all, back at my head gasket problem. Started it up to move to garage after sitting since March, ran crappy but smooth out, let it idle in garage for a couple minutes no white some coming from tailpipe like before. Maybe a Gremlin fixed my truck while it was sitting. Not!!! Took will,s advice and pulled the stat. crossover and started it up and boy there was an eruption off coolant coming out Of the driver,s side head cooling passage. Was not expecting that much maybe just a few bubbles. At least I know which side. Still have to compression tests (Dry). Run my borescope in the glow plug holes on that side, hell if I see damage to the top of the piston or any where else I shouldn’t have to pull the heads, new motor time. Still have to pull the passenger side W.well to get to GP holes for tests. Got a question when doing compression tests. Can I pull all of the GP.s at once or only do one at a time And put it back in ( that’s what she said . I’ll keep u guys posted. Thanks Gus.

You should pull all the glow plugs so the engine turns over as fast as possible. You'll get a more accurate reading.

Yes pull all the plugs

Did you remove the serpentine belt before starting? Crucial for that test

Save on batteries too and will get any coolant in cylinders launching sideways. Ask how I know….
