Blew a head gasket on the way home from a cruise night tonight. Lost 20 lbs of oil pressure, oil looks like a freakin milkshake. I hope it didn't damage the bearings. I'm gonna drain the oil tomorrow afternoon and make an assessment. I have a set of head gaskets for it, just a matter of me getting motivated to do it. I wanted to take it to a show tomorrow afternoon too.

you still have time to get it running before the show if you start now

 

[FlameOut]

That sucks, Hope everything is ok.

At least you have a couple other cars to choose from for tomorrows show :thumbsup:

 

[BlueSS454]

I'm gonna pull the heads next week and go from there. I found a running 440 if I need it. I hope the bearings aren't damaged.

Don Lightfoot....this doesn't mean it won't be fixed in a couple weeks .

 

[Dave]

C'mon, pull an allnighter. You gotta drive the General.:thumbsup:

 

[BlueSS454]

I'm not in the mood tonight, I might just rip it apart tomorrow. Nice thing about the Mopar 440 is you don't have to pull the distributor or all the crap off the front of the engine. The only things that need to come off are the headers and intake manifold.

Come on Tom Get Er Done. You could have it running by 7Am tomorrow just think how nice it would be to have it done for tomorrow...

 

[69SUPERSPORT396]

Sorry to hear this Tom.

Sounds like an all-nighter is in order. Otherwise, Lightfoot will give you grief at the MCC SHow.

Ya, Brad's even willing to fly up there to lend some supervision....er support that is.

You shouldn't have JUMPED onto the freeway.

Good luck, I'm sure it's not as bad as it seems.

 

[Dan Orgill]

That sucks. Hope there's no damage, as stated above.

Thats car Karma for you, when your Chevelle wouldnt start at CB you said the Charger would never let you down like that

It still starts though Ron . I drained the oil tonight, about 15 minutes ago actually. There are traces of coolant in the oil. I'm going to put some Rotella T in it tomorrow, run it and see what happens.

Hey, if I'm gonna break something, I'm gonna do it right the first time :thumbsup:

drain that milkshake out, then put a gallon of diesel. Then flush out, then add oil, then flush that out. Don't forget to turn the oil pump as that will have the milkshake in it also.

the diesel mixes well with the milk and when you flush it out it brings it with it. Regular oil seperates with it, and the milky stuff stays.
