Did headgasket last January and now its seems to have gone again. Last time my oil ended up in my rad. This time hard to start and smoking bad on start up. Got my timing checked 13.5 and got it reset to 15.5 get home check oil the next day and coolant condensed under oil filler cap. I phoned to track down oil analysis results which were late coming and my potassium level was at 54 ppm and was flagged for possible coolant. I guess this time I will use an engine hoist to place the head on the block. I must have either got a bad gasket or damaged that one. The first time it went my truck was fueled a bit higher and I detuned it so I wouldn't have this problem again. Now I've spent $133 on new water pump, $429 on new rad, $624 on new injectors, $100 on new overflow valve, $1000 doing the headgasket the first time. Maybe I should just sell the truck and get my first gen engine into a F**D. Sorry about the complaining but, I needed to vent. How many times have you other guys had to do a headgasket?

Hoping the third time is not a charm, the second better work.
