Well when did you see the milky oil? after you pulled the head or when you drained the oil?

Pulling the head makes everything mix since coolant is in the head.

Oil drained before headstuds removed. Pulled valve cover, intake/exhaust
Oh **** need to drain oil

05g5

Although i cant ohysically see any obvious breaks in the gasket. There are some areas of question and i got opinions on it. It was a leak small enough to only allow combustion air into the cooling system and a very tiny tint mount of coolant was noted in the oil

Well, everything is cleaned up. no damage anywhere els..

head is being machined by the best shop in town, only herd good things about these guys for YEARS. $170 for that

And knowing a guy that works at GM gets me my 35% off, lol. Headgasket and headstuds be here monday. $190 for that

oil and antifreeze, another 50. should be running tuesday.

last thing i would like to ask from you guys is, and i cant find it anywhere. on here or google.

Oil in the bolt hole is probably just from when you pulled the head.

Why didn't you do a compression and a leak down test before you took it apart? Then you would know what was wrong

when i spoke with a few of the mechanics at gm, they all agreed once i told them my symptoms and everything that happened, no flow, coolant being pushed out through the surge tank when cap off, coolant lines blowing up like baloons when i cap it on, how long, and different methods i tried to burp the system, etc its my headgasket. ok, i mentioned bringing it down there to get it tested, and they are like, yea sure if you want... you can pay for a tow and we can take your money and tell you what we just did. a local mechanic said the same thing, and i can describe what went down the best i can, but you guys dont see it first hand, the headgasket idea was floating around my head for quite while when messing with the car. And i did find some other evidence once i opened it all up
