Grit and creamy color on spark plug

alright thank you sooooooo much huge help! as long as i get that damn headgasket in time i should be set to go upnorth this weekend :) sounds like they dont got much though but we already made a rez.... guess were just gonna have ta go to the UP.. ;)
thanks alot again i'll let ya know if that fixed the prob too. bye fer noww
 
okay i know its been awhile but its been the first time my sled has been out since i put the head gasket in.... i wanted to take it for a ride to get it warmed up to make sure i wasn't losing coolant.... i am.. reservoir was full before i left. got to the gas station and looked while hot it didn't move.. still at the full line. rear exchanger was warm. after i ate and it cooled i looked and it was slightly above the low line... bought a bottle of water in case it got too low but never put any in. checked a few times on my way back always just above low line.. today i look and theres none in the reservoir and it looks almost a little low in the top hose..... could that have all been air in the system or could my headgastket not have sealed? goin up north this weekend now for sure i really hope it can be fixed by then. what should i do??
 
if its ingesting antifreeze, it will show on the sparkplug.

how did you bleed the system for air?

do you have access to a radiator pressure checker tool?
 
doesnt look like it on the spark plug looks clean. now under closer inspection looks like i have a leak on the left cooler under the tunnel somewhere.. at least thats where it was dripping.. i have it in the garage and i cant see any holes or even really any scrathes.. idfk now that i was under looking i peaked at the suspension and OMFG! the bar that goes across between the rails is disconnected on the left side and just hanging in there the other side is cracked its a brand spankin new bar.... idk im so pissed at the thing now im ready to say **** it and buy something else. leaving thurs afternoon looks like i got my work cut out for me.. not much of a budget either :/ whats the best way to check a cooler for leaks... or the whole system... i could probably pick up a pressure check tool at school or from the neighbor mechanic too
 
okay found 2 small leaks where the back mounting bolt for the skid is on the sides of the coolers... didnt seem like much of a leak at all still have my doubts thats where all my coolant went... but we'll see just got one more bolt to get the skid back in... what a pain in the A S S!
