IH2388 02-25-2009, 02:00 PM On our farm truck, its a 93 or 94 6.5 diesel, our mechanic has noticed that there is bubbles that come into the coolant resevouir when idling and when speeding the engine up the bubbles come faster. It also white smokes a lot at start up. Our mechanic thinks its a blown head gasket. i was wandering if anyone has ever had anything like this or if its a common problem. I dont know much on the 6.5's so any help would be appreciated. thanks! xjbry 02-25-2009, 02:08 PM Yep. It's either crack in head, block or the head gaskets pooched. chevyinlinesix 02-25-2009, 07:14 PM Sounds like tell tale signs of a blown head gasket or cracked heads. Make sure they use brand new head bolts when bolting it back down, as they are a one use TTY fastener. bmilla97 02-26-2009, 04:02 AM x2 bk95td 02-26-2009, 01:20 PM Do both sides while it's apart. Replace rocker arm retainer buttons also. Fle-pro head gaskets are said to be the best for the 6.5.

When i do a rebuild(i'm sure i'll blow my engine up just a matter of when) its getting ARP main and head studs. I hate TTY bolts. | ||
