 Subject: 1994 Dakota - Water in Oil - Tips needed
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi everyone,
I posted this the other day in the V-6 Forum, and got a few tips, but I need additional clarification on some stuff.
http://www.dodgedakota.net/boards/v6/9970.html
Basically I've learned afew tips. fill the cooling system, and crank it over with no spark plugs, and see if water sprays out a cylinder, or, if it comes out fo the oil pan if I remove the drain plug.
I also know to do a compression check.
What I'm looking for clarification on, is how to determine if it's a leak in the intake or head gasket, a cracked head, or a cracked block.
Any tips would be appreciate, as I really need to get my dakota back up and running. the crapper is 2 years ago I put a new motor in the dodge. :-(
Thanks in advance!

first pulling the plugs and taking compression
is,nt going to tell you nothing except what your compression is ,if the truck is,nt skipping
pull the intake,check the intake gaskets one should show signs of leaking coolant,
if everything looks ok move to the heads
remove heads check the gaskets here,if they look ok
have the heads magnaflex or pressure checked for cracks
one of these things should be your problem,the block is last thing
