I've seen this before on a car that got hot , sent the head in and got it checked out which came back A-ok , had it planed anyway , bought a new HG and problem solved ... We put it down to the Hg being 'flattened off' caused by over heating :) .

pics of what ?? honesly everything minta.

Heads going to rhemac tomorrow should find out about that tuesday .

But if its not that the only other place i can think they could be mixing is hrought the turbo ????

2 head studs i pulled out had oil thought it was nothing unusal ?? just got in there wen i pulled em up or something ???

Not 2 sure on a 25 but a 26 pumps oil past the head studs for the cam bearings.Just look on the head down the headstud holes & there will be 2 holes to let the oil around the headstud.Was it pure oil on the studs u pulled out?

Head is now at Mechanicks getting tessted and faced.Hopefully something come backs there but bye the first look he was happy with it.Ive just finished cleaning most the gasket of of the block and is no visual signs there as im sitting around doing nothing its stating to bother me with what it could actually be.
