Coolant leaking in my engine and it's not starting up

[breezydun81]

No when I took the spark plug out the spark plug was dripping a lot of water off of it and then the boot the spark plug boot literally I poured water out of the end of the spark plug boot but no water is coming out of the cylinder though but that's a lot of water brother

You think it's definitely the head gasket right not the manifold right. I guess it's a lot cheaper just to get the heads and have them put in then having head gaskets put in go figure

Coolant only flows across the front of intake cylinders 1 and cylinder 2 the port is 2 inches from intake valve port so I doubt its intake but you'll find out when its off

This is the driver side which isn't as bad the passenger side right now is way worse than the driver's side so I would say that's the side with a blown head gasket I'm about to just order the the remanufactured heads right now and then the gasket kit set that's it I need a timing cover you said to

You would definitely have coolant in oil pan if its intake manifold or gasket issue

Do your pressure test before buying parts. Otherwise you’re just throwing money at it and aren’t sure it’ll fix it. Second best bet is tear it down and you’ll find out as you tear it down where everything is getting wet from. Given its external water most likely not heads or head gasket but always a chance. Honestly I’m stumped but the pressure test will hopefully help. Either you will see water come out or hear air

Yeah but when I took out the spark plugs this morning the driving side heads will fine you just wear the boots click in that was like that brown sludgy water you see the passenger side man everything was soaked dripping water even the spark plug boots I was pouring water out of some of them so it's got to be the head gasket is blown on that side man it was the last thing I wanted to f****** find out.I still want to do the depression test first but then I just found out from Amazon it's not even coming today like it was supposed to but yeah I definitely want to do the pressure test first but I know it's the passenger side man I could just tell by doing that

With all the problems with that 26 year old engine, and expertise needed, why not get a remanufactured motor: I do not know if U have 5.2 or 5.9, posting some URL options if U want to look:

I'd love to brother I just don't have that money no more I've already put two Grand into that thing between labor and parts and modifications. Interior parts.

OK, just figured I pass on da info.

First sorry to hear about you father! List mime some years ago and still miss him.

i have learned that the 5.2 snd 5.9 magnum engines have a problem with heads having small cracks appear due to the close location of the cooling passages. Sone Ram owners have experienced coolant going fown the exhaust manifold and plugging the catalytic converter causing the rear cylinder nearest the converter to burn. if there is that much coolant do not try to start it and have it towed to your mechanic of choice. Hydraulic lock will occur and you will have even bigger problems. Sorry!

Thank you very much I really appreciate it though is your turkey man if I ever that they call him the fire chickens

Thank you for your condolences on my father and I'm sorry for yours too boo I miss him in all the time he was like the closest person in the family to me but my my catalytic converter of course was clogged when I after I did my fuel pump so I just deleted it and I had him put a y-pipe put a new oxygen sensor and everything it sounded nice in tough. I'm just going to wait and do the radiator pressure test and go forth and go from there they crazy kid said so did you just throw money at it it's true you're still going to have to but and they've to see if I was right and then it's the gasket in the passenger side

It is possible the head gaskets are just blown externally and not internally - rare but possible if it was over heated.

Are you positive that you aren't getting water on the plugs when you pull them out? If the little recess externally is full of water then water would get on the plug tips and threads when pulling them out.

L I just want to do the radiator in the radiator cap pressure test to see what's what's going on okay go from there Amazon's killing me man They're killing me. I took the plugs out and I soak them all and gasoline made them brand new to come look at all that rust color off but out of the eight spark plugs six the perfect like they just came out of the box now after soaking them in gas and two they have a little burnt Mark way hotter than the other ones did on the firing point up above cuz it's a twin tip

I have a hard time following all you are saying, Sounds like the water pump may be spitting water out the shaft if you have water on the plug wires.
I would drain the antifreeze out, the block as well, Than with the plugs all out , spin the starter over for a few turns, to clear the cylinders out, use a remote starter switch and watch for water coming out the plug holes, if so , pull the heads.
Do a compression test on all the cylinders
Install new plugs and wires.
Than try starting it again with no water.
You can run it for a couple of minuets with no water.
Than if it does run O.K. put your water back in , after the block has cooled off.
If you have a head gasket gone or cracked head, you should see bubbles in the rad .
I think you have to find out for sure what is the problem, if you have water in the cylinders, forget trying to start it.
pull the heads or get some one you know that works on these, it is not hard, if you have done a few.
Sealer is no fix for a blown head gasket, maybe a small crack in the head, may help for a time?

I had a similar problem a few years back with a silverado. I had the radiator pressure test done and everything was ok. So after searching on internet, I found out that my problem was that I replaced my coolant and didn't add stop leak pellets in it. I've learned that being an aluminum block, it comes from factory with stop leak added to the coolant. I don't remember what brand it was, but I understand that it is defferent from gm or ford or dodge. A little stop leak can't hurt anyway. I remember that it asked for 2 little bottles be added. Hope this help.

If it is leaking as bad as you indicated adding a Bars leak type of substance is not going to help. Do a compression check and see if you can figure out where the leak is. Get someone to help you and listen for air escaping. I would drain the anti-freeze and don't start the engine but turn it over and listen for a leak and do that compression check. A head gasket leak should put water in the oil too.

If it is the heads you can take the bad heads in machine shop have repaired reservist if not to bad of shape. you are gonna go nutts trying to listen to all of these people and there opinions. just take it apart already YouTube that **** I did it's not that big of deal
