My antifreeze has very slowly been disappearing, now i found it in my oil! The antifreeze looks clean though. I know its oil cooler seals if the antifreeze has oil but what about if its the other way around? Can it still the the cooler or is it definately the head gasket?

Also, it cant be turbo related because im running my turbo dry and just cool it down good. so it has to be one of the above. Hopefully the easier of the two though.

Coolant in the oil sounds like the head gasket, I noticed you decided to keep your 951, what was the asking price?

I was looking for 5k since thats what i have into it. I sold all the parts i had laying around but the guy didnt come through for the car. I figure ill use the 2k to get the car back into shape and enjoy it. Now i just noticed this. I guess the head will have to come apart next

This looks bad

The weird part is im only missing about a quart of antifreeze

milkshake..doesnt look good...I am sure you will be loosing more if you didnt catch it in time.

I got it mostly apart and theres more bad news, the valve seals look horrible! I didnt notice it since its been so cold and cars tend to smoke anyway. I guess ill be rebuilding the head and i might as well port it while im at it. Now im kicking myself in the *** for letting my longblock go

What kind of gains can i expect from a lindsey stage 2 head?

That looks like a Wendys frosty and is making me want one...

Alright all i need is to find a long 6mm allen socket to get the top bolts off the cam housing. Otherwise it would be off in 5 mins. I have to inspect the bores next to see if its even worth it.
