What ever it takes!!
I was driving around when I noticed the truck sounded like it was missing a cylinder. I looked down to the temp gauge & it was close to the red mark. I turned the truck off and coasted it up my driveway. It ran low on coolant & over heated.
I found the number 1 plug was soaked in water & not firing while running. I figured the intake gasket was leaking (vortecs). I removed it & found a pud of water sitting in the #1 intake port. I soaked it up with a shop towel to dry & decided to hit it with the 5hp shop vac to make sure I got all the water. The water returned inside the intake port while I was vacuuming the port. Did I blow a cometic head gasket? cracked the head? or cylinder wall?:tdown:
