OH DEAR

This does sound like a head gasket....

All your observations now fit this problem.

 

that's what I was afraid of. good news is at least it wasn't the tensioners and now I have a reason to replace them if they haven't been replaced already. Only problem now is I don't have the money and I'm getting out of the Marines in 3 months and wont have a job after. Any advise for kits and tools I will need. I know what tools I need for the tensioners but don't know what else is required for the heads. Any advise for piecing together a kit for both tensioners and head gaskets.

 

Search for Roger77's thread since he is currently in the middle of the same job.

 

thanks
