Default cracked sleeves?

how can i figure out if my sleeves are craked on my f22 with out replacing the head?

story goes i was burning coolant so then i pulled the head did the gasket and milled the head. now, it still burn coolant so i pulled all the hoses off the intake manifold thinking one of them was mixxed up but that wasnt the case either. any ideas?

Leak down test.
or a block tester, but you can get false positives with any chemical tester if used improperly.

Neither of those will give you 100% that it is the sleeves and not just a head gasket, but if everything else is in known good shape, then its a pretty safe assumption.

Did you not look at the cylinders at all when you had the head off?
