bad luck poormans type r ......so sad right now
so im building up a poormans type r
i got a b18c (p72) block because i blew up my b16a at the track one weekend. so anyways i started a fresh build on the block new pr3 pistons arp rod bolts and caps,and new type r head bolts. i honed the block with a nice cross haired finsih, and new seals. i used acl bearings and new rings. i ported and polished my old b16a head(pr3) and installed new valves, and valve seals. installed a new clutch and pressure plate exedy stage 1. after putting everything together and dropping the motor into my eg. filled all the fluids and started it up at 12am last night sounded real good for about 10 seconds.Than i noticed oil shooting out at like 90mph where the head meets the block at the rear. so i figure the head gasket must of jumped. should i keep going with this build or just give up lol. anyways thought maybe some of you would like that

why would you just throw away a build because you had one small issue. if you dont want the parts send them my way and ill build the motor and sell it.
moral of the story: dont let a small problem ruin your aspirations of your car. i have blown 3 motors, never stopped me. GL

Dont just give up on a project because you had one small problem. If it urks you that much just put the motor in the corner or walk away from the whole project for a while. You will hate yourself later if you give up.
