Posted on Friday, August 08, 2008 - 5:04 pm:    Hello all, Is it posible for head bolts to come loose to cause oil to leak out between the heads and block, my engine runs and starts good does not run on and has oil pressure and does not over heat? Or would the engine suck oil and not shut off if the head was that loose. My other idea is one of the ruber rings between the head and block is gone. Thanks for all advise Dave L.

Not uncommon to find a loose head in big transit... happy coaching! buswarrior
