coolant coming out of the dipstick?
i pulled the motor out of my integra and went to put it in my del sol. when i pulled the motor i changed the head gasket. now its in the sol and i was filling up the radiator and after a while it started to come out of the dipstick? can anyone shed some light. did i put the head gasket in wrong or wut?

i would have to say you did. or you might have over torqued the bolts and blew the gasket accidently. either way, you should change it again.

You will need to open that engine. I would drain the coolant and the coolant. Then drain the coolant in the crankcase with an oil siphon. I drain the oil and pull the oil pan as well. You do not want to emulsify coolant with your oil. As said above, the head gasket must be leaking.

do it in three steps...start with 20lbs then go to 40lbs then to 63-65lbs...

you need new headstuds....stock oem headstuds stretch out after awhile so they are only meant for one time use....buy arp headstuds...good and cheap insurance for the long run....
