1994 Camaro Warp Head?

I have a 1994 Camaro Z28 Stock. Just recently my Raditor cracked so I had it replaced, but my car still runs a lil bit hot. I think I have a warp head, cuz Im loosing anti frezze, but theres no leak anywhere. Car doesnt heat up that much just a lil bit over normal, but yesterday tha car was running kinda slugish. My friends dont think I have a problem. But im guessing I have a slight warp head, due to sum air getting in the coolant system. Im thinking of buying Block Seal, I bealive its called Blue Devil or Red Devil. Just permently seal the air leak. But what else could be wrong if its not a Warp Head?

Re: 1994 Camaro Warp Head?

you probably had a head gaskey leak thats why ther was no visible leak......it is always a good idea to have aluminum heads resurfaced anytime you take them off of there is a problem like that doesnt cost very much either

Re: 1994 Camaro Warp Head?

Yea I was also thinking it could be a Head Gasket, But i was thinking it couldent be because My oil and Anti Frezze are not going together. Oil is good. I think its just like a small tear in the gasket, beacuse it doesnt heat up right away, and its been hot in San Jose, Cali and it heats up normally. Car runs good and all. Im gonna have to buy the Block Seal, It should take care of the problem beacuse I bealive it isnt that much of a rip. What are the symptoms of a Warp Head/ Blown Head Gasket? I dont got smoke coming from my exhust. And there no sweet to smell it niether.

if it is small enough the cat would clean it up do a pressure test on the cooling sysytem with the engine running if the pressure goes way up or flutters then you prolly got a gasket leak i would not reccomend the block sealer...furthermore if you have a gasket leak may as well change the o2 sensors also coolant kills them

Yea Im not going to use tha car anymore. Im probably gonna have 2 do a pressure test, this week. But at the moment im looking to get the block seal. See what develops. As I have no funds to have new gaskets put in at the moment. How does the coolant effect the sensors?

Re: 1994 Camaro Warp Head?

the cat will clean up a little bit of coolant becuase of the heat so you may not smell coolant coming out
