AngryRB Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) 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.

mad082 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 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.

StevenCJR31 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429217-rb20-headgasket/#findComment-6944968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenCJR31 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/429217-rb20-headgasket/#findComment-6945163 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben C34 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 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.
