jb_starlet Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Head gasket went a week ago so took it straight to garage they had head skimmed replace head gasket etc, 3 days later it went again? The garage are saying they cant explain why, please can anyone give me any advice on why or maybe this keeps happening? Cheers jb Quote
TurboTobz Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Warped block?Were the head studs swapped out for new? Quote
enots Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I had a similar problem with my old gt turned out theyd used a n/a headgasket kit apparently Quote
Idrees Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Did they use new head bolts and torque them correctly? Quote
jb_starlet Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah any bolts were changed, ccouldbe somthing simple like a cheap gasket? Quote
Idrees Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 If it's been fitted right then it should last more than a few days. I have only ever used genuine head gaskets or Athena MLS for peace of mind though. Quote
