Just a thought.

Nothing avail from cat but replacement studs, I may be lucky though I originally diagnosed my problem as injector failure,m the head gasket diagnosis was from cat, they said cold cyl because of a pushed head gasket and they also said I could run it for a while till it started going thru antifreeze, also quoted $25,000.00 plus for a complete overhaul. It just had inframe 2 yrs ago. Anyway today it started making oil (diesel in the oil) which again p[opints to injector so tomorrow if possible will get the injector pulled on #5 hole and get a leak down test done which will tell me if the head gasket is the problem or not. I really still think it is an injector/injector cup problem at least I sure hope so 1 new injector abt $600.00 installed a newe set of 6 for about $3800.00. Will keep my fingers and toes crossed. tom
