Ok here is what I found,at idle if I take the cap off the degas bottle I can see tiny bubbles constantly.When ,I turn on the high idle mod they go away,however from the outside I could not see the bubbles.I am going to get the test kit anyway. I dont have an egr cooler.
My "Block Chek" kit should be here today. I am also waiting on a new alternator from DC Powering Engineering, which should also arrive today. As soon as I get it running and up to temp. I will test for combustion gases and post results.:look:
Well, I received new alternator today from DC Power Engineering. Once it was installed I was able to start my truck and get it up to temperature for testing any combustion gasses in the degas bottle. Using the Block Chek kit Dr. PGreenSVT recommended I am happy to report that my test was negative for exhaust gases. Interestingly I did not see the bubbling in the degas bottle that started my original concern. But now I know for sure my heads are in good shape for now:woot
Well that's good.I was wondering, like I said early mines showed a slight shade of green and definetly didn't stay that color blue.I. am getting ready to do the studs anyway..now you can relax..
