So this rb25det s15 project has been a headache to say the least! Long story short the engine sustained some damage due to the cambelt snapping causing 2 valves to snap in the 3rd cyclinder (Luckily no damage to the piston or bore) right ill just buy another second hand head, skim it and slap it on i thought... I brought a 1.3mm cometic MLS gasket, ARP headstuds for the installation. Cleaned the remaining gasket off the block and used a paint scraper along with a scotch brite pad to remove the old gasket but did not check the block for flatness ?? After getting everything torqued up properly in the sequence 20,40,60,80 ft/lbs and bolting the manifolds back on etc. After running the engine for around 5mins i noticed alot of steam coming out from the rocker cover breathers and yeppp a gravy like substance underneath the oil cap.. So im assuming the gasket didn't seal properly between a water and oil gallary. Can someone confirm? This is freakin depressing ?
