chr15_7_t_ Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 head gasket is blow between the 3rd nd 4th cylinder..il be honest it was just done but i did most of it myself and im not a trained mechanic but i had help when it came to torquing the head and the timing..when i changed it i cleand the top off the block with a stanly blade to get the old crap of the gasketand the head was skimed so didnt need to worry..2 things that i did wrong..i didnt no about cleaning out the threads for the head bolts:(and when i put the head back on i put the inlet on before i put the head down..(was told i shouldnt of done that)and the last thing is i think the car might be runing slightly rich to?
