also been told that i need to run long head bolts?

help please

 

yeah i can help.... GET A CHEV............

 

How long has the engine run? If it's run a while, a leak at the head gasket should be visible on teardown. Are you getting lots of white smoke? If not, I'd be looking for cracks in the block. The notorious problem areas are along the oil pan rails, the water pump mounting surfaces, between the valves, and the head bolt holes to the water p***ages. Either way it's a teardown.
