DR3W-MURR4Y Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Recently bought an engine from hawwy on this site, put engine in the car but when its running its putting moisture out the breather on the rocker cover, (mayonaisy gunk coming out of it) Any ideas if its something simple like a breather in the wrong place etc or is it the head gasket ?

shorty Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Potntialy head gasket if its a mayo type substance. Id whip the rocker cover off have a check in there and maybe whip the thermostat housing off too and have a look inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Did you put fresh oil in? It may just be condensation depends how long the engines been sat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Pointing towards head gasket bud are you loosing water out of the cooling system ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DR3W-MURR4Y Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Fucker, not noticable amounts no, havent been out a blast in yet though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It might just need a good run. A sniff test will tell you if its HG failure. Do a sniff test first though !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DR3W-MURR4Y Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Sniff test, do explain.. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Basically take a sample of the coolant to see if there is any CO in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Or just snort a bit of the coolant. Nah, what he said ^^ Any decent garage will have a tester, just ask around your local places. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
