Do a barrel roll!
that the radiator was good all the hoses where good and the fan worked.
so i could not find out why it was overheating my friend told me
to check the oil cap for "muck" , and indeed there was .. alot of brown thick discharge on my cap , so
i then checked the oil and Yup
it was a milky color.so i knew it was the gasket, it cracked, causing the coolant to mix with the oil "not good" and
so i began the process of tearing it down Took me 5 days "thanks to all the damn censors "
and me being a noob at mechanics but i got the job done. Anybody have to do this before ? not fun but
i saved myself 1100$ doing it Whoot Whoot

Damn m8, I could never do this. I don't have the equipment to pull my engine out but wish I had the knowledge and equipment to. I want to do a rebuild of my engine but pulling it out will cost $ and getting the parts + labor will be $$$.
Check out my thread m8.
