Well I have a blown headgasket!! I noticed I was about 1/2 gallon low on coolant the other day, so I topped it off. Well, today I was low again...one day later and about 7 miles, so I topped it of and pressure tested it. I could her water running but was unable to find leak....rohro.....pulled the oil drain plug...milky. I just flush this the other day 175 miles ago and everything was fine. I did it up at work and used a flush chemical and a stop leak kit that came from "everwear" and used their power flush machine. I am going to give them a call tomorrow and have a little talk with them. It is not the money that it cost, I can do it myself in a day or so, but what bugs me is I should not have to. I sell these flush kits all day long, and they are resposnible for the damage on the car. I really do not have time for this, but I think I am going to try to get them to pay for the labor or something, I am probably spitting in the wind, but it is worth the try. While I have the intak off, I will probably go ahead and convert it over to a roller cam set up, so not all is lost! Oh, did I mention the motor has about 3500 miles on it!!!!

I feel your pain brother.
I went to swap out cams , pulled intake and bronze? shavings in lifter valley. Heads went to the shop for "upgrades" and just pulled motor today, haven't opened yet so I hope the bronze? isn't any bearing material :rolleyes:

I feel it too. I have 2-3 minute delay before I have oil flowing through my rockers with a hydraulic flat tappet cam. Motor is out and I am trying to locate the root cause. The motor has less than 3,000 miles of which I put 800 on since I bought it.
