ok well i just started my car after installing a oem head gasket and arp head bolts on a b18c1 jdm gsr. now oil is leaking pretty badly from the passenger side of the block. now i checks the vtec sensor and the dizzy but it looks like its coming right from the the h.g. so once again its the rear pass. corner of the block does ne one have ne imput on this.


thanks in advance

 

is this from the same place it was leaking before?


if so, sounds like your head is warped....

 

well this is the first time this happened and i dont know how this could have happened the car never over heated or was really beat to **** at all so i was hoping that there would be something else that someone incountered with this

 

Finally someone esle with the exact same problem as me! My car has been sitting for months cause I can't figure out what to do! Did you apply a sealant at the corners of the block? Also what kind of intake manifold are you using? Did you get your head surfaced also? Hit me up at JDMSi92@aol.com too so we can compare and try to figure out what is wrong

 

i did not have the head resurfaced and i have a obx skunk 2 intake mani that i ran all last year with out any problem.

but now i just found a small 1/4 inch by 3/8-1/2 dowle(sp?) pin i believe it is. now im not 100% sure it is from this motor because my garage is used for a bunch of diff things but i was hoping that it may be the fix for it... does this pin sound familiar to anyone and if someone had a exploided pic of a gsr head that would help be out a ton too

so bump for more info

 

you should have your head checked out. any slight imperfection would cause that. n besides it wouldn't hurt to have the head machined.

doesnt cost that much and at least you know that its not warped.

there are 2 sizes of dowel pins on a B: 1) It has about a ~4mm diameter, this goes inside the #3 cam cap. 2) It has abuout a ~10mm diameter, there should be 2 of them used inside the block to align the head on the block.


Note: i suck at standard -&gt; metric , and i estimated those figures above

 

ok yea i guess the heads just ganna be coming off this weekend and my cam caps had the dowel pins in them soo im guessing that the one i found is from something else but yea thanks for the help everyone

 

There's three plugs in the head where oil comes out of, one is on the front where people check VTEC oil pressure, the other two are on the back, one is where everyone puts their LS/VTEC oil feed lines and the other is right next to it. Make sure neither of these three hex plugs are leaking.

 

I had my head pressure tested too and found not cracks what so ever. But mine was not surfaced due to the grit of sand paper that place had. But does anyone know of applying any liquid sealer at the corners of the head and block?

 

ok well thanks for the help guy but i found the problem im a idiot and head gasket changes at 2am is not a good idea. some how the gasket got put on upside down so now i have a new one coming in on saterday so no more problems for me i was so relieved but once again thanks for the help

lol. good thing nothing else got damaged.

 

just go get ur head resurfaced!

 

take it apart and check to see if every hole lines up with the gasket n block it will look like it fits if u put it on backwards i had the same problem once oil was comin out the same spot thats my opinion.....cuz if the head was warped that bad it would have been comin out before u did the gasket change
