well unfortunately i had to pull the motor outta my truck ONCE again, it has been blowing a funny funny colored smoke but it was never tuned so i blamed it running really really rich,and i did a leakdown test which turned out fine, anyway after taking the motor apart it was soon obvious that the # 3 cylinder had gotten extremely hot, the side of the piston looks really really porous, the ring had some gouges in it, and the bore is a little funky and discolored, what i am trying to determine is if the motor leaned out and popped the head gasket, cause there was Anti freeze in the cylinder, the oil was a greenish tint but not bad at all, the block was actaully o-ringed, and it also seems like it ate a groove in the head, maybe he just used the wrong head gasket and thats my problem, anway if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated
