Hi guys.

I'm doing the headgasket on the Stagea atm. I've got as far as getting the headbolts out but I can't seem to budge the head. Does it require a bit of force to separate it from the block or are there a few hidden bolts?

rb25det neo btw.

Cheers,

- Lance

maybe this - Theres a ten mm bolt(I think ten mm) at the front left side of the head behind the inlet manifold. Is a real bitch to get out with manifold on, I replaced mine with an allens key head one after doing head gasket to make easier in future.

I guess that answers the question about the locking up engine? :/

Kind of. Injector 4 stuck open and it hydro'd itself when I was checking other stuff. I had the injectors cleaned but when I did a compression test cyl 4 and 5 came up low so I was thinking it was a break in the head gasket between the cylinders. Turns out it was so it's off with the head and new gasket time.

I'm unsure if it was related to the stuck injector but it's all being fixed now.

Cheer man, I figured it out soon after I posted this asking and scratching my head a bit. The one up the front is a real bastard but it's all off now. Cheers for the help.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
