Antiefreeze leak from hell
Hey, so im just about to finish up the swap on my civic last night...
So i start puttin in the anti freeze and it starts leakin from the Fu**ing head, so pulled the head again and everything looks good. My question is: If I have ls head bolts would it cause it to leak really bad??
I bought the car with the lsvtec before, and dont know if they put in ls bolts or b16. I measured them and they are longer than they should be... j
just wondering guys.. thanks

Can you move the head when you torque it down? If the water is coming from where the head surface meets the block then yes you need to change head bolts.
