ok, well, no one replied to my previous thread.... FINE!!!!:swear:
<recap: oil in my coolant> I figured that isnt good, Maybe blown head gasket (or worse). So, im takin my head off to see.:frown:
here are pics of my block (and one of head).
I'm getting the head tested tommorrow for crack/wapring. I hope everything is fine....
Anyhoo, I know that cylinder 1 is not too good of condition. I will prolly put new gaskets on and be careful until i save up enough money for a swap. I hope I can easily put a b20 in there. Any info? (I should just ask emily....but she isnt online) I have a d15 and im not sure if a b will just bolt right in. This engine has >150Kmiles so its gonna be a lil dirty. But i dont think piston 1 looks very healthy.

my valves. Just remember that this sol has >150Kmiles on it.
That darkness is because the valves are wet. that is all. it normally looks the same as the others.

That looks yummy, if it was over-heated I would check the block also. I hope your gonna install new gaskets.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it over heated. He just had some white smoke from the exhaust and some slippery coolant I think, because of the oil. Wait for him to wake up to confirm though, just trying to build my post # he he.
