I still say take the rockers off and check them out but if the headgaskets are gone and it's making those noises it might be new motor time.

I have many things, but a 6.0 is not one of them

epic fail thought you where all over the truck motors

that sucks justin...mine never made that kind of noise when i blew a head gasket....good luck hope the motor is ok.

Yeah I still gotta pull the rockers and the heads anyway. But the way I look at it now is this: The motor has 135k on it. I really dont want to put the money and time into it to put lifters and new rockers yada yada just to have it make the same noise when I get it back together. I really think its time to stop band aiding it and just put it away till it can be fixed right.

It just sucks that I dont have 4 or 5 grand to build a good motor. :(

Ill admit I am not to enthused right now

That sucks man, Hopefully the motor is ok? Is there any way to crank the car over with the topend off and see if the lower end ticks?

Kinda late for that anyways.

I got the head off today. Not really a expert on this. The pistons seem fine, ya know the usual carbon on top. the cylinder walls seem to be good, can even see the cross hatch pattern in them. The rockers are ok, pushrods seem fine too. When I pulled the head the gasket stayed on the block so I am not too sure where the gasket lifted. I havent pulled the lifters yet but I am thinking I am going to just wait and put a short block in it.

did you ever take the other side off?

oh ad when you say crossover tubes do u mean the metal tubes under the intake? if so those are suppose to have atifreeze in them.

No Jon I was talking about having water in the exhaust. In the mid pipe and y pipe. I smelled it and it had a smell of coolant...

No I havent taken the other side off yet. Maybe next weekend.
