I keep losing about 2 inches of coolant from full just sitting over night, then it won't drop down any lower. I also found oil in the coolant, but no coolant in the oil. I just installed the intake and heads a week ago. Is it a head gasket?? Please advise.

Thanks,
Bob

pull each plug out on that side and look for coolant on the plug(that one cylinder anyway),other wise a compression tester or leakdown will tell

I ported the heads myself and I didn't go through anywhere. It actually ran just fine other than my coolant loss of 2 inches everytime I top it off (slow loss overnight) and oil in the coolant. But how can you get oil in the coolant and not have coolant in the oil?
