wakeabby14 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So after the car been off the road for 3 weeks and the head gasket been replaced the car is still burning coolant, The head has had a full rebuild and skim, new head bolts, new valve stem seals. The machine shop that rebuilt the head said there was no cracks in the head and its in really good condition. Im getting fed up now as i need my car for getting to work and im losing my patience. Can anyone suggest why coolant is still being burnt, it is also bubbling out of the rad cap and is a milky colour. Cheers josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 did you use pirate gasket or toyota 1 ?? or steel ? as the pirates are uber crap and the steels need precision face and dec to seal propperly the toyota 1 is VERY forgiving to warp and scratches Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wakeabby14 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 The car has stopped smoking for now must have been something burning off in the exhaust due it been sat for 3 weeks, will update if needed further but look good for now thank god. Radiator cap was loose that explains the bubbling coolant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
