Whitegv Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 the engine thats in it now that ive just put back in is the one the car came with, it overheated big time when i got it, so ive had a new head, had the block checked and it was ok apparently, new head bolts and gasket, and its still not working. cant say how gutted i am tbhworst thing is i start a new job on monday and need the car for then.you think i should put another head gasket in this engine?

rorenapier Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 When you put the new engine in, did you make sure you never mixed up the vacume and water lines at the throttle body? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitegv Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 When you put the new engine in, did you make sure you never mixed up the vacume and water lines at the throttle body?yeah mate i labelled everything and moved it one by one from one engine to the other. ive put new oil in, and new filter. and the oils stayed golden ;) so hopefully it was just shit left from before ;) seriosly hope so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
