    I believe in a post earlier you said you did the cylinder head overhaul 6 years ago( if the same truck) now we know why. Good luck.

    You don't know why. You're speculating to a self-serving theory. To be an asshole.

    Dickheads like you, to promote going to a mechanic, or going to a contractor, or even going to a doctor, have been discouraging my DIY for years... I go out and get my shit done anyway.

    With all due respect, fuck you

    actually will tell U Nothing

    have used kerosene or wd40..................yet ANY liquid will have DIFFERENT Viscosity

    past the piston rings inside o cylinders.....................TELLS U NOTHNG

    rings are design to work properly against chamber pressures

    chamber friction

    chamber Temps

    chamber gases

    draining water tells U Nothing

    a cold compression test + a cold ‘ Leak Down ‘ test tells U more

    heads already off the block tells U nothing

    Just because you are some half-assed engineer, doesn't mean you have to get all pissed off when people tell you that you are wrong. You clearly have no business working on cars... SO YES BRING IT TO A MEACHINIC.

    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    and I repeat .
    Ya know, earlier in this post I said I was out because of the initial dumb ass question.
    I have to jump back in and say this is not going to turn out on any side of good. These questions being thought and asked are pointing to a disaster. I do wish you all the luck with this.
