[QUOTE="clark98gt, post: 989866, member: 15477"] For those you didnt see my other thread. I just finished up my PI swap, then the car wouldnt start and it turned out to be my fuel pump. Well I got the car running tonight and it seemed to fire up fine but it was idling high. I didnt think much of that and was just watching the temp gauge and making sure my coolant was full. I let it run for awhile then decided to go for a short drive. The car ran pretty rough and the coolant light came on so I pulled over and the coolant was full but I could see bubbles coming up into the resevoir. I drove right home and I checked the oil and there was a milky substance on the bottom of the cap but not on the dipstick and there looked to be oil in the coolant(straight water). When I did the head swap I had the heads gone over and skim cut. I bought brand new ford gaskets and new ford head bolts. I also cleaned the block extemely well and use a piece of 2x4 with sandpaper to clean the surface. I'm thinking one or both of the head gaskets are crap but figured I would run it by you guys first.
