| There's a B I saw advertised that has coolant getting into the engine. What are the chances it's an actual crack somewhere in the engine vs. just a bad gasket? |

It is usually head gasket or "O" rings on sleeves. Head gasket is easy. "O" rings are a little harder. ------------- CA, WD, C, 3 Bs, 2 Gs, WC, I-400, 914 |

Or the often overlooked core plugs in the top of the head rusted out. The core plugs are a cheap easy fix.

buy it at a price for the worse . I bought a d14 and new it was a core plug the only promblem was the guy had liquid glassed the thing and the motor needed a complete overhaul. ------------- people if they don't already know it you can't tell them. quote yogi berra |
