Put the headgasket on the wrong way by the sounds of it. Someone over on TGTT did the same thing not so long ago, see if I can find it bare with us.

cheers adam that confirms what i had been told. aaahhhh. back off with the head. gutted. how do i know its on right? does it block a port over if its not?

[daveEP]

on the bright side my engine didnt have tapping like that one haha sounded sweet as a nut just that the fuckin gaskets on the wrong way. tit man.

[AdamB]

To locate the gasket on the block correctly, there are I believe 2 water ways on the inlet side, if you line the gasket up (same shape cut outs) with the specific water way in the block you should be fine mate

If your still not sure mate, post up some pics

[daveEP]

will do mate al get it done next wk end. ;) should be fine with it if not i'll get pics up. cheers again. fingers crossed it is that and not anything else lol.

[Taggy]

i did the exact same thing, bloody easy to do and was a complete pain in the ass lol.

[daveEP]

lol ano mate nothin worse than that cause u know your takin it all off "again" to just turn a gasket round lol. oh well thats life. will sn be fixed.

[daveEP]

found some pic i took when doing the gasket. could anyone tell me if it is on the wrong way? does it need flipped over? any help would be grait.

[Hawwy]

Looks right?

[daveEP]

thats what i was thinkin mate dont know what it could be. new head gasket u think?

[daveEP]

only other thing is i never sealed it with gasket seal should i have done this?

[micky boy]

Did you not use a new headgasket? when putting it back together?

[daveEP]

no mate had been used. is that my prob?

[TrisK]

no mate had been used. is that my prob?

Always use a new gasket and head bolts

[micky boy]

I would of thought so mate and maybe not haveing the head skimmed! Im not all that clued up with this sort of thing so wouldnt like to realy say!

I could just tell by your pics that the headgasket had been used!!!..Im sure someone elss will comfirm if thats your problem

[Broony]

Chances are yes you need a new gasket, get the mating surfaces clean as possible, ensure the head is torque to the correct settings

[daniel_g]

Yes mate that will be the issue.

Get the head skimmed, make sure its no warped or that, new headbolts, new head gasket and put a wee bit sealer on a corner. Sorted.

[daveEP]

klkl guys cheers for the imput. new head gasket, head bolts it is.

[Idrees]

no mate had been used. is that my prob?

Most probably. Get the gasket inspected, I have a strong feeling it has a small warp or something causing it to leak.

Also make sure the head surface is spot on or have it skimmed.

If you need a new gasket we have new 1.2 and 1.4mm's in stock.

pm'd idrees.

[StarletMad]

Skimming isn't 100% necessary unless you overcooked / boiled it but don't quote me on that :-) i don't take any responsibility lol but would defo get new gasket. And if this is the first time the engine has been apart the stretch bolts "should be ok for one more go" not recommended though. If you need any genuine parts go through idworkz as he can get them cheaper and posted for less than i can get them at my local.

[daveEP]

klkl bud cheers. yeh i've spoke to idrees and am just goin to get new gasket and head bolts prob next wk as im goin to get the head off and ready for the parts. should be ok after that lol.

[_shaun_]

dont no how much a headgasket costs but if u could be arsed driving down i got a new toyota one u can have.

[daveEP]

some man mate were u from? pm me. cheers. dave.
