Hotrod C3 '89 truck block 350
OK from a previous thread, I filled the entire oil sump with water, when I thought it was ready to go last week......and so BOTH heads off to the head shop for some psychy exam.......
short block on stand now....pan off bottom......water pump sealed on short block front.....so going to take lower hose, and hold up high, and fill with water, and see if any dripping/FLOW from lower OIL areas of engine....full up to top of water passages......how legit a test you all think this is??? figger leave it overnight to check pan in the AM..... |

I would have started by not filling the oil sump with water, but that's just me.

WELL, the trick IS.....to ID the damn point of failure allowing the OIL SUMP to be filled with WATER/antifreeze when I thought the job was over with.....
so going to fill the water jacket up to head deck height and see if any drainage overnight.......damn expensive these daze to find another short block.....even used, and then the WTF? |

Do they offer magnafluxing at the shop you are using? Or is there any type colored dye you can add to the water to make it easier to see if it is leaking? Even food coloring vs just plain water or something that shows up under a black light.
Remember, once in the car the entire system will be pressurized vs just trying to fill it with water and looking for a leak. |

at any rate I going to your Dad's place this AM to pick up the heads, two of them this time round......and hopefully this weekend some flooring tile will be moved from the garage, so I can move shit around to make room to get the short block outta the garage and into a pickup and take it to your Dad's place.....I"m still going to try my own setup here, but I need to tape off some water jacket holes on lower edge of block where cyl heads go.....forcing water higher in the water jacket, and see if any dripping out the open bottom end....if it does, then I know the block is trash, and I be in market for a new short block.....lovely.....need to be a roller block too boot...so L98 at oldest...LT be better...... |
