Kelly-ann Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have milky white foam in the oil cap, blowing out of the dipstick and under the radiator cap, head gasket?

KiwiRS4T Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Ring(land)s Try compression test Watch what happens when you rev the engine with the radiator cap off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/475458-head-gasket/#findComment-7891812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridentt150v Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Drop the oil and see if there is any water in it. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/475458-head-gasket/#findComment-7891833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Rev Head Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Either a head gasket or cracked head, for your sake I hope its only the gasket. Take it back to whoever built the engine, it may still be under warranty.

Duncan Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Lots of reasons an engine that has just been rebuilt might have a problem, I suggest taking it back to the shop and letting them decide what to do next. All 3 things you said are bad signs. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/475458-head-gasket/#findComment-7891883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly-ann Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Diagnosis: cracked head, back to mechanics, still under warranty thank fk, thanks for everyone advice!
