Default How to find cracks

Alright my car blew a head gasket so i went a head and replaced both

v6 btw

anyway the car still pukes coolant out the overflow not as soon as it used too, but it still does.

Now considering i have a new anything related to cooling

Radiator

therostat

many hoses

head gaskets

water pump

I honestly cant think of anything else to be wrong but a crack in one of my sleeves or since i swapped heads maybe the heads are cracked

is there a way to test this with the car together? Or just bite it pull the motor and get it rebuilt

yeah that would be my guess to have the head resurfaced by a machine shop so you have a smooth surface to mat up against the gasket and he block. especially if the other head came from a blown gasket engine. hope it might help but the only thing I could think of..
