i had the same problem/coolant color on my other car, it was a head issue it was very slightly broken due to overheating and a 125+ weather.

The problem maybe in the heads not the block itself, just inspect the heads it might be a head issue leakage not fully torqued broken etc not the block itself, don`t give up on the block yet, good luck man :1

another place to check is the stock oil cooler/heater it might be broken try to bypass it by connecting both hoses going to its water ends together and idle the car and check if its dropping any oil or something.

hey dude long time no @@

the heads are fresh and new, my head bolts are ARP 1/2" head studs and i torqued them my self (96 FTLB) the engine is just used for a short time.

tuning was very Conservative all the time with 0 knock.

after i did my compressin test again with some oil drops in the cylinders the compressin just jumpd up.

and allso issue started befor installing the new turbos but i was not sure that time.

i think its the heads like u said or the piston to cylinder bore clearance

n e way every thing will be clear after i open the motor.

Its probably your heads due to the way the coolant looks. I have over 40k miles on my engine from Todd with no problems. Its not sleeved or forced induction. I just did a compression test on it about two months ago and it was good.

i checkd the timing, and the cold lash for the rockers its normal

then, i did a compression test.

it was really reallllllly bad

1 = 95

2 = 91

3 = 91

4 = 85

5 = 91

6 = 91

the engine temperture is normal, but its overheating

the overflow tank is allways full with dirt

ill start all over again and rebuild the engine


im not sure how this is happend, bad luck with my darton sleeves.

N E way, i just like to share with u guys
