YO I JUST REPLACED HEAD GASKET DID OIL CHANGE AND STARTED CAR AND HEARD A KNOCK SHUT CAR OFF AND CHECKED OIL AND THERES ANTI-FREEZE IN THE OIL, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK HAPPENED, EVERYTHING IS STRAIGHT, TORQUED HEAD DOWN TO SPECS, MAYBE HEAD IS WARPED? HELP!? IM SO PISSED!

 

Did you just replace the headgasket or did you have the head milled also?

 

turn your CAPS LOCK off !!!

Is the belt on right... did you retime the engine.. and verify that is is on right.... might have been your vavles clanging the piston tops..

The coolant back in the oil is another problem.... . . like mentioned was the head milled.....


why did you replace the gasket in the first place??? was it putting water in the oil before???? if so how long was that atifreeze allowed to sit in the crank case.... antifreeze will eat the babbit right off of the rod and main bearings..... . if so then you need to replace the bearings.. .

 

i just changed the gasket, did not have the head milled, the old one i replaced was leaking oil out of it on the front left side, and car wasnt running right, there was no antifreeze in the oil but white smoke was coming out of the vavle cover breather, so i changed the gasket re-did the timing like 10 times cause i couldnt get it right, then now i thought i had it right and i heard the knock so i shut the car off. i had the timing on the dot, i dont know maybe the timing belt is skipping teeth, i dont know what do, i just had this motor rebuilt and the ******** who built it fucked my **** up and now i cant fix it, i think its time for a lawsuit. what do you guys think?

 

Well if it had white smoke coming out of he breather then the head was most likely bad you should have taken it to a machine shop so they could have done a preassure check and milled it for you, that would have been about 100 easy.
Your only choice now is to take off the head again, check to see if the valves got bent because of bad timing and if any pistons got damaged.
If thats all good get the head check before re-installing it, you could still re-use the headgasket. I don't know if my fellow HT would agree with that but it would save you some cash.

 

You put the headgasket on wrong!!! Probably upside down.
