oil into water xe:(

checked the header on the cab full of oil, its a c20xe by the way

i checked the oil no signs of mayo though the water system is full of oil, planning on pulling the head off but unsure if its porous as its a gm head,is this common and is this a sign of being porous was guaranteed it was a good engine too,

if BIG IF it is porous i may cut my losses and fit a let,if its just gasket i will repair it and see summer out then fit a let,

any comments regarding my issue will be much appreciate it as im unsure whether to pull it to bits fully:(

if it is porus after checking the gasket, just get it fixed cheap and easy fix !!!

please explain how as im unsure whether its worth it just it has full mot 6 months tax so ideally fix her up to run for a bit how will i tell if it is porous

is it actually possible to succesfully make a porus head not porus ie repair it

sure there is a thread on how to browney i know you did the mod how to mod it but will need to look at how to repair the guy i bought the engine from was about 50 and genuine and came from a mot fail calibra so i beleive it was ok just with not being used has done it as its been sat 2 and half year

i seen that thread just wondering does it work and how long will it last after wards as my own head is gm just so i no if it ever does become porus and is there any thing to help prevent it sorry to hijack your thread but maybe well both get answers to help

not hurd of people having a problem when done properley i gave mine to gaz-d and they done mine with the external and they havent ever had a problem and that get 300bhp of nitrious stuffed down its neck every time they use it

so what does the repair consist of and what is the internal mod they do?

They conseal the oil way inside the head and put an external one on the end of the head buddy !
