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.

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

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.

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.
