Cylinder Head Repair... |
|
|
|
Puffing white smoke were the symptoms. Pull the heads off was the start of the fix (hopefully.) |

Engine compartment. START of job... |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Intake and rocker arm covers off, LH rockerarms and pushrods gone... |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
All gone... and yes, cylinder #5, the steam cleaned one is the source of all trouble, obviously! New water pump is bought and painted while it is so nicely accessible! |

Heads look good from far away. NO signs of a gasket leak though. |
|
Aha, there it is. Head cracked! Doh. Thanks to the classic oldsmobile mailinglist a replacement (#8 head) is on the way shortly. |
