its been about 4 months since i got my engine back together after tearing it down because of a massive coolant leak. i took the heads to a machine shop and had them pressure tested for cracks. there were none, but the heads were warped. the shop resurfaced the heads, and i had a valve job done.the mating surface on the block wasnt ideal, pitting around the water jackets. felpro head gasket set. im getting a constant drip out of both tailpipes. im to the point now of pouring some fix-all crap in there. if anyone could recommend some, or has an idea what might be going on, please share. thanks

are you sure it's coolant and not just condensation?

i am kind of just putting two and two together, coolant loss- fluid dripping from pipes.its not in the oil or coming out of the water pumps weep hole.no sign of leakage elsewhere. thats a lot of condensation if so. and i didnt think with the weather being as it is (south texas) i wouldnt see much condensation....

honestly, since i initially filled the coolant.... the low coolant light came on once, so thats about 3/4 gallon? filled in back up, and ive topped it off a couple of times because i thought it was low.half a gallon there. i filled it a couple of inches above the cold fill line, using the procedure for burping the system mentioned in the haynes manual. it keeps dropping down to the cold fill line, even when up to temp.i may be paranoid since i just got through throwing so much money at it for the same problem. seems to me its using coolant though. thanks for responding to those who have so far
