sounds like the heads warped, did you check it with a straight edge?

also you can use some Hylomar in aerosol can for the head gaskets to help it seal off.

So did it blow a gasket before you replaced it? If so, then yeah it probably should've been machined to get rid of any imperfections.

Plus you would need to flush the oil and water a few times to get all the crap out.

i brought my ceff as a 20de and pulled motor out. did water pump,cambelt and head gasket before i +td it never had a problem before i pullet head off with milky crap on oil cap . im a bit stumped with why its doing it now. could it be that i re used the head bolts?

So you recon it's the head bolts.

[StevenCJR31]

could possibly be. . the bolts only around a hundred bucks new anyway. . is the new headgasket actually blown? did any water go into the engine when you lifted off the head to change the gasket? if thats the case then you wont have a milky oil cap for long

anyways ralph can help ya! lol

[cheifwigam]

headgasket was never blown . just put a new one in so i new it was good when i did water pump and cambelt. i think maby a litle water might of mixed with oil but not shore. do you recon the milky shit will go away if i drive it if im hearing you right. i just dont wana f**k the motor lol

[StevenCJR31]

is the engine using any coolant? if not then id just clean the crud off the cap and take it for a looong drive down the freeway to get things nice and warm to evaporate any water that might be in the crankcase

unless you have a blown hg then you wont kill the engine

[cheifwigam]

il have to have a look think it is. hgas to be something simple lol

[Ben C34]

What gasket did you use? What did you torque the bolts up to?

[cheifwigam]

standed gasket, 75ftp like it says all in the right ceqence and stages

Having just done up a head I noticed the huge difference in torque vs angle. I used my angle gauge with my torque wrench and the torque wrench went off around 30 degrees sooner than angle required. angle is far more accurate than torque.

aw yes i see i see
