Hey can anybody give a little advice? I have never done any engine rebuilding. My truck started running hot to the point where water would be boiling. I changed radiator, thermostat, water pump, timing belt, antifreeze, clutch fan and flushed cooling system once. I got where I could only drive it short distances about 8-10 miles because temperature would start rising to high. Anyway there seems to be a lot of condensation coming out of exhaust and water level only goes down slowly. There may be a little gas smell to antifreeze. My truck is a 1992 Dodge Ram with about 155000 miles. I did take the intake and exhaust manifolds yesterday and removed the head. Now I don't know what to look for. Should I take head to machine shop are there any in South Carolina that anybody would recommend? And if head gasket is blown or head cracked should I redo the head because bottom end has 155000 or should I now bite the bullet and do whole engine? I am a little intimidated about doing the whole engine. I hope I got some pictures on here. Thanks for time and help.
