update:
popped a head gasket!
time to side line her until I build another engine.

That sucks. That was the quickie swap motor right? Was it even studded?

 

[no mufflers]

**** happens.... leaking externally?

 

[IDIoit]

leaking coolant into the crank case.
yes this was the temp engine.
not studded.
taking the crank and rods into the shop today from my last build. to have them checked for roundness.
or maybe I shoud just work on that 7.3T I got from Russ.
the good news is that I have most of the stuff ready to go.
just gotta make a decision.

 

[no mufflers]

oh yeah that's no good..... is the replacement engine going to have some more upgrades or power adders?

 

[IDIoit]

only head studs.
but now I think im just gonna take the 7.3T I got for doing asmiths truck and simply do an engine swap.
this headgasket couldn't have came at a worst time.
I literally just put a powerstroke in the shop to get rebuilt.
im just confused 7 ways from sideways right now. but this truck cant be down for long.

I never powder coated an engine blue.
I painted it black, with powder coated accessories.

the first engine I built, cracked the block.
the 2nd was a temp engine. (pictured, you can see the gray head)
and now this.....
