Another Theoretical question or is it 2?! (Towing and head Gasket)

[audrima]

well, last winter (last time she was started) she steamed out trying to move her, the coolant looked like muddy chocolate milk and she smells like sweet blue smoke smell at idle 0o.

I can's say about cracked heads until I get it back to wv and look at it. I have no way to check that stuff in Ct.


thanks!

i learned so much from this video:

As you may know, i'm dealing with my own overheat problem.   THIS is how car videos should be;  i learned more by watching this then by ALL episodes of Roadkill combined.

So anyways, does anyone know what the warpage tolerance specs are for small blocks---both heads and block?   Or where i can find them?

I looked in all my manuals, Chiltons, Haynes and that tolerance spec is not mentioned that I could find.  I viewed the both parts of the video and I agree, job well done...
