Re: Stretched Head bolts..... (Kamin)
Im burning coolant in #1, #3, and #4 cylinders only when the engine gets hot. The motor was just rebuilt by myself. The head and block were decked, so I am to assume that it has to be the head bolts.
Its a B18C, with CTR pistons(.25oversized).
Thanks for your help guys!!!! I will be replacing another head gasket and a set of ARP head studs!!!

not saying its gonna happen, but if you keep reusing them they dont hold as well, its good to replace them EVERY time if you have money comming out the ***.
