i just found out that there is coolant in the # 4 cylinder and a lot of blow by they said. they told me i was better off putting a new motor in it. is that true?

 

[dslkraz]

It depends how long water was in that cylinder if it was long enough to scar the cylinder wall and the machining cost is a lot with the parts then you probably need a new motor I would have them take that head off and look at the cylinder walls

 

[diesel89]

alright thanks!

 

[Tow Master]

What ended up happening? $4000 for a motor or $1000 for headgaskets is alot of money. If you caught it quick then head gaskets will be fine

 

[diesel89]

4000 for the motor.

 

[pronova]

Could be a cracked head, that would suck..

if you get a new motor...get you a vein controller and put a lbz in it....buddy of mine had same problem and is in process of doing the motor swap...dont know if its gonna work alright...
