Thats exactly what happened, which explains the starters going bad, I turned the motor with no plugs and out came water from cylinders 4 and 6....guess its time for that head to come off

Take them both off! The other is surely not far behind!

Will do...quick question....how da hell do I disconnect the fuel lines to the fuel pressure regulator and fuel rail????

Quick disconnect tool, small round plastic set can be had at any auto parts store

Do you have coolant in the radiator or just water?
Was it clear or was it coolant colored?
Are you sure it was from the coolant system?
If it was clear and your coolant is colored, are sure it was not gas?

My point is if it was fuel and not coolant, you could be going in the wrong direction with the heads for nothing?

If you are going to pull the heads, why not do a leak down to confirm the gasket problem? Just another way to confirm you are on the right path.

Are you proceeding in an organized manner? ie labeled bags for hardware, photos of wire routings or hoses. Connector labels?

I mention this because based on your comments and questions, you seem lost and will have a hard time getting back to were you started much less normal running condition.

It was water, because I wasnt sure of the running condition of the car and im positive it was water that came out of the spark plug holes because fuel has a distinctive smell, and some of it was kind of of clear and kind of rusty orangy color, as far as the process, i have everything labeled, and taking alot of pics as I go, Im just hoping I dont have a cracked head :/

You need to add a "Signature" with basic info about your car - year, model, engine, trans and any major mods.

At this point, anyone trying to help you has to go all the way back to page 1/post #1 to see what year car you are asking about. The LT1 has some significant issues from year to year.

Ok update....I swear the more I take this car apart the more I see whoever was working on it didnt know sh*t....and this is my first time dealing with this motor(besides my 77 305)....so I was tearing her down, and the exhaust bolts were lose...but the most craziest thing ever...THE HEAD BOLT CAME OFF AT LESS THE 40LBS!!!! Some of them were even around 20 and there were a few around 40 smh....and of course the headgasket had no damage....so whoever put that head on didnt do it correctly at all....the other head that seemed never to be tampered with is tighened with the correct torque tho...Im putting her back together today....something else to note...I forgot to label the injector plugs BUT i was thinking maybe the buttwipe before me had them crossed which might have been my problem in the first place... I guess im going to look on shoebox's page for the wire diagram....that should clear that up

There are numbers on the injector harness connectors:

ADD A SIGNATURE

faqz09

oh i knew that haha , man that coolant line to the back of the head is a biatch to put on...im been fighting with it for like 20 mins and its still not on

Is there something wrong? Add a signature.

Injuneer

It's getting hard to take this thread seriously.

faqz09

The line ended up being bent but i made a way around that BUTTT......i put everything together......the engine spins....doesnt make much noise....like no combustion...not sure if im getting spark but I know Im getting fuel....could it be because I tightened the rocker arms too tight??? They are a little tighter then they were before but not all the way tightened??

faqz09

I apologize for the pointless post Injuneer, i am a newbie and I really appreciate all of your post and advice....I will keep the future post on the most serious matters
