Message: [QUOTE="Twinboys, post: 1221136, member: 19672"] I am getting ready to do my bulletproofing. If my head gaskets can be confirmed to be not currently leaking, I will be installing studs one at a time. Right or wrong, this IS what I will be doing and have no interest in debating this. Recently, I noticed my coolant was down about half an inch from the "new full Mark" (the old min. mark). After doing research I rigged up a bubble tester and have bubbles at idle. First question: is some bubbles normal, or is there in fact either a egr or head gasket leak? I will be deleting the egr regardless and don't want to tear thing down twice. Second question: Other than deleting the egr, reassembling and rechecking, How can I determine if my head gaskets are currently leaking? I know I can "get a feel for" it by unhooking the turbo and watching the bubbles, but I would like something a little more conclusive. My understanding is that a leaking egr will also cause a positive in a combustion leak detector, so that rules that out. [/QUOTE]
