motor pushing out water

[andy16]

the sleeves i recomend have a step at the top they get wider at the top. kinda like a "T" if you use this kind block deck will have to be surfaced. and only a quality shop will use em but the block will be like brand new. nothing wrong w sleeving a block if nascar didn have a rule against it they would sleeve every cylinder. thats why they made the rule to stop the rising cost of machining blocks. plus the blocks would last forever and gm ford dodge cant have that can they. so they slipped somebody some cash to come up w that rule w the purpose of saving money lol.

anyway it may not even be the cylinder just have to check

ya i think it's a head cracked the block has had the sleeve in it a couple of seasons so i realy dont think thats what it is. but worst case if the heads are said to be good then i guess i will have to go the rest of the way to check the block out the only thing he said was 1 head had some twist to it when he went threw them other than a coulple of threads were pulling when he put them on

you may want to research using studs in the middle three holes if thats where the thread problem is. you have to use them w some 23* heads like brodix. they are extra tall by like .250 thou.

Take the water pump belt off and empty some water out until level with the intake where the thermostat goes, with the housing off. Start engine and see if you get any bubbles, don't let it run long.

Did all the same stuff with mine for the last year. Even the radiator bath on Sunday afternoon while cleaning and washing.

You mentioned they were Dart heads, what are the chances they are the 23 degree cnc'd heads? Ihad them and another pair. BOTH had cracked in the chambers and gave me fits! Local machine shop checked em out and gave them a clean bill of health. DROVE ME NUTS!

Ending up sending them to Wells machine (who had originally built it) 7 states away and he pressure tested them on the bench and thought they were good too. Called me a couple days later after some more goofing with them and found the chambers were cracking. (multiple) Dennis then said they were way too thin from Dart to even try to weld.

Different heads and fixed, no water missing after heats or features.

Things we did:

high pressure cap
new intake gaskets
new head gaskets
pressure checked everything
replaced radiator
changed pulley ratio

I hope it is something else for ya but...

Still no answer to my question, where is your radiator cap located? On the intake above the water neck or just one on the radiator?

[AJGARBER70]

sorry the cap is on the radiator and yes they are 23* heads

We had that problem with al heads, pushing water out, had a cracked head. Head had to be heated up to find the crack. Good luck.
