IH to head; Gasket Failure
Changing the alternator on my 92 I noticed that the oil catch can was milky. looked in the plenum, milky oil.
I checked the oil in the pan, no issues, checked the coolant, no issues When I took IH off the head the gaskets were badly distorted and you could see were OIL and Coolant were mixing

Re: IH to head; Gasket Failure
There were NOT Jerrys gaskets
They had been on the car since I did the original porting some time ago

Ouch....that's ugly. Lee, do you know the manufacturer of the gasket. Might help to prevent anyone else from having the same fate.

Re: IH to head; Gasket Failure
I do know who made them, going to let them know the issue, they do some good stuff generally. Will see if they will switch material; I generally use Jerrys, those tend to be the best.
Stick with Jerrys
