I'm pretty good at turning a wrench (no problems with a timing belt / water pump job on my 02 LC) but not the best diagnostician. Here's my situation:
-1994 F150, 5.0 V8, although the engine isn't original, not really sure of the exact age or mileage
-Lots of coolant in oil but no noticeable oil in coolant
-No bubbles in radiator or overflow when running
-No noticeable smoke or sweet smell from tailpipe
-Has never run hot or overheated
-No noticeable external coolant leak
This is my work truck with an 8ft bed for hauling plywood or mulch. I only drive it about once a month, if that.
Do these symptoms point to one direction over another? I haven't even had a chance to pull the spark plugs and I do have a coolant system pressure tester but I'm hoping yanking off the intake manifold might reveal the problem and it will be a quick fix.
Any thoughts?
