Initial problem- coolant in oil
drop pan
coolant on the #3 sleeve
remove head and pull piston and sleeve
Sleeve and block look good
Head has crack in the combustion chamber
Tried to weld it myself
assembled the engine and it ran good- twice
still getting coolant in the oil
Warm the engine and add K-Seal to coolant
Next 2 times I run the engine it has a miss on #3
Compression, #3 is 75 lbs. add oil, now get 125.
K-Seal rep says it can not bind movable parts
When I put the sleeve back in, I rotated it a quarter of a turn. I heated the block and cooled the sleeve, but needed to use a block of wood and a hammer to get the sleeve to go in the last two inches. I did not hit it hard to get it in. I did hone it, before putting the piston back in. And it did run good the first two times I ran it. Where or what did I do wrong? I will be tearing it apart soon. If the top ring is broken, is it because there must have an invisible ridge that caused the ring to flex to much?
Thank you
