  • Blown head gasket or LIM?

    Looking at possibly getting a sixer for the GF. However, the owner says the head gasket is blown. Not sure how they came to the conclusion that this is the case. It was said that its coolant in the oil. Is this a tell tale sign of a blown head gasket of LIM? What should I look for or ask about so I know what Im getting into here?

    If your getting a good deal on it and doing the work yourself , might as well pull the heads and get new gaskets while doing the intakes.
