Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 6:58 pmI already ordered the head gasket.
But do I just put the new headgasket on, add oil coolant and start it up again?
I dont add something to take the left over out? I drained the oild and coolant already.

when you get it back together, use some cheap oil and do an oil change after your first start up

Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 7:50 pmYeah I used the DIY on the forum for the head gasket. Okay I will put some cheap oil, run it for a little bit and drain it. You think it would be a good idea to use some Sea Foam?

SeaFoam is mainly for the carbon build up. Just drain after start up for a few mins maybe 20 let it warm up. let it run . then drain and add ur new good oil..
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 12:45 amwhen coolant is mixed in with the oil its not only because the head gasket went bad, u could possibly have a cracked head or block, or both, or even all three (gasket). inspect for cracked when ur taking off ur old gasket

I will get it fixed on the weekend, re-torque and flushed

Lets pray!!!! usually it doesnt happen unless heavily abused and high revving unbalanced. Is it a JDM b16 or USDM?

Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:35 pmIts JDM. Im pretty sure it's not. Because before I did the rebuild everything was working fine. I never really drove it after I put it together, beceause I wanted to get tuned first.

So on your rebuild you used a new headgasket obviously.. and what studs? ARP or OEM?
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:46 pmYeah I used a new gasket. I used ARP
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:55 pmDid you get the torque values from ARP themselves?
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:59 pmYeah I did I followed ARP's instructions. I think what happened was that there was coolant or oil at the bottom of the thread holes on the block. When I took the head off (for the second time) the studs where very loose.
