I have a gsr integra and my car wasn't starting/studdering and I decided to check the spark plugs and ther is tons of coolant in the cylinders? HOw can this be? What can i check...all 4 cylinders are wet from coolant and I mean alot!

 

Sorry man, you have a blown head gasket.

 

blown hg more than likely

 

How can I tell if the head gasket is blown or not? I had a new head gasket put in about 1 month ago...I mean not just a little coolant alot!

 

Take it back to whoever did it. Hopefully ur valves arent bent.

Whoever did it could have put it on flipped over...ive seen it b4

 

I know that when I put a headgasket on my supra it had to be broken in... I don't know if the integras are like that but I would assume so...

 

yes cause it was fine for a while and then it was studdlering, then I check my plugs then they were full of coolant in the cyclinder could I gotten a use head gasket instead of a new one?

I hope not. You never reuse a head gasket: once it has been torqued it cannot be reused. You are also supposed to gradually torque the head bolts in a set sequence to properly crush the new head gasket.

 

Headgaskets are like condoms.... never re-use them You my friend have a blown head gasket.

 

they also could have routed a water line to a vaccum source. but most likely would shutter and sound like its cammed, and small amounts of steam are visible, but im willing to bet if its alot u have an improperly installed hg or a blown one.

is this motor bored and boosted? if so u could have cracked the sleeves.

 

A couple ways to detect a blown head gasket: White smoke in exhaust ( if it's real bad). Also open the radiator cap (when car is cold!), then start car. If the gasket is blown, you'll see bubbles/foaming in the coolant. Also check the oil for water/antifreeze contamination.

lol why would his valves bend...it's just a blown headgasket. yeah for sure it's a blown hg. whoever did the work on it didn't do something right. no way a headgasket should blow within a month of being replaced. investigate!

 

LOL..I took it to another place! They put in a use head gasket or never replaced the gasket in the first place! I got a new one in and it is back to normal!
VROOOOM..Vrooom! No booost or sleeve block just all motor..thanks guys!

 

Those damn ********, you can't trust anyone thats why im hesitant to take it to a shop. Either they lie or beat your car.

 

SOUNDS LIKE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, THE PERSON EITHER DIDN'T TORQ THE HEAD RIGHT INSTALLED THE GASKET WRONG. CHECK BY DOING A LEAK DOWN TEST OR COMPRESSION TEST TO SEE WHICH CYLINDER IS BAD. COULD BE THAT THE BLOCK IS CRACK ALSO BUT UNLIKELY BUT POSSIBLE.
