Re: Henry - 1984 C10
Also, while under the truck, just did an inspections for other leaks or issues since we are taking in a 2 hour road trip. Some minor oil leaks from the valve covers, but nothing serious. Dirty and needing a good cleaning. Did a quick bolt/nut check and all seemed good EXCEPT for one small crack in the block on the driver's side. Not a serious hole or even a leak, but none the less a crack in the water jacket of the block between cylinders 5 & 7.
Discussed options with Korbin, decided to do the flush and fill and give it a cleaning around the crack and see what happens. Did all that, does not seem to be really leaking, but has the evidence of a small leak. Decided to make the drive to CTN and had a great time. Drove back that late afternoon and no issues at all. Might have used about 1/2 gallon of water the whole trip and never overheated. Its been parked since then, so maybe this weekend I will see what can be done to seal up the crack as a temp fix till we decide what to do next.
