I sure wish I would have read the threads and articles here first before buying this truck - thanks to everyone's contributions!!!
So I purchased a 1992 F250 XLT Lariat with Garrett turbocharger knowing full well that it had problems (loss of power and white smoke from exhaust about 30K miles into a fresh rebuild). With many articles and threads about cylinder head woes from using standard head bolts, I guess I was banking on it being a head gasket problem.
I have the engine removed from the truck so I can't perform any of the in-truck leak testing mentioned in several places. What is the best way to know if I have any cavitation? Does magna-fluxing work in this situation?
