HELP ME! Crack head? Tons of Coolant Pressure
im thinking i have a cracked head...the coolant is building up tons of pressure.. when i cut off the engine you can hear it bubbleing and actually feel it move the truck a little bit... is there anyway of checking it with out pulling the head off first? there isn't any coolant or oil in the wrong place, but the oil does smell gassey.. do you know of anything else that could cause this? i have a new radiator, wp, thermostat, all hoses, heatercore is clean and fine, new radiator cap. this is a fresh motor rebuild with around 5k on it.. it has run fine till this issue. any help is very much appreciated.. its got me in a pickle.. anyone have a spare head they could help me out with? i live in ringgold ga 30736
