are you sure its a blown head gasket?? That's nearly impossible to do on a 4valve.

in the well below the lower intake i have coolant pooled up. at first before i pulled the old blower off, i thought my LDC cooling mod was leaking. but with everything off, i can see that it is not...

i also have a small amount of oil on a part of the head gasket that sticks out a bit.

and checking out my coolant tank, i have small black in there.

i hope its not a head gasket, but what/where would that stuff come from?

i have pics on my phone ill try posting them in a bit

the pic with the red circle is the oil pooled on the head gasket.

Well I have the new blower on the car now. I'm just waiting on a belt and a new BF pulley. I couldn't do the exhaust gas in the coolant test... And I tried to pressurize the cooling system, but the fitting kept popping off the coolant tank, then the hand pump broke! $180 to rent that kit from advanced... I guess I'm going to have to test after I just installed a brand new blower......
