1991 Audi 100 coolant in crankase
Problem with 1991 Audi 100 (NF engine):
- no start; start after applying heater to engine; - excessive spray of water from exhaust as engine warms; - steam from exhaust manifold when warmed up but before engine got hot; - replaced head gasket; - engine starts; steam from exhaust manifold, then engine starts stalling and quits; - applied air pressure (approx 5 psi continuous) to coolant overflow tank: coolant disappeared, crankcase oil level rose, no sign of external dripping; - checked cylinder pressure: 130 – 140 psi. Obviously, coolant somehow leaks into crankcase (and elsewhere?) when under some pressure. Questions - what might be the most likely place to look for the leak and how? - if head is cracked, would a 1986 NF head fit? - if block is cracked, would a 1986 NF engine fit? Would appreciate advice |
