The compression test results should help narrow it down.

its been my experience, if head is cracked, u get oil in water. I.e., in the radiator, etc. But lately, i am confused. There has been so much work on this rig. Im doubting some of my work. I do thank u for ur time and will check compression b4 pulling engine.
i will keep yall posted to my findings.
have a nice day and happy blazin

 

It could be a cracked head or block, a blown head gasket including warpage or torquing issues, bad LIM gaskets or pitted intake manifold. Hopefully the engine does not have to be pulled.

Who did all that beautiful body work on the Dodge?

George

 

i will soon find the answer.

Im not looking forward to disturbing the peace

 

He did that himself. He has a nice write up about it all with a bunch of pics. Really sad to hear she needs to be pulled apart so soon.

 

thank you 4 that compliment, its been a crazy dream come true.
Ive done 90 % of the bodywork and most of the paint. A friend helped me spray the roof, its more real estate than pic shows.
I will get to the bottom of h2o in oil issue... thanx donL for ur feedback, and taJohn for commenting.
sincerely, boudreaux
