Well some of u may know I replaced my f23a1 with a jdm f23a a few months back. Im finaly getting around to actualy see what was wrong with the engine, as I have a month off from school and extra time in my day.

I was losing coolant ne time i reved over 5k making milkshake in my valve cover and dipstick, I replaced the headgasket at first, because when i brought it to the dealer thats what they told me was wrong. I was very new to working on cars but now I have learned alot.

being that the headgasket was not the problem and i still had = compression all the way across. I also had the head leak tested and was ok, but i still was losing coolant n giving me milkshake oil. Then I started to lose oil pressure about 2k miles after headgasket replacement. I just bought a new engine and swaped it in, for the reason i didnt have much time to tinker and find problems. I just figured I cracked a block.

now to my question.
Is there be any other obvious issues, besides a Cracked block, that would make my engine mix coolant into my oil, and then lose oil pressure.


thx for any imput u can provide me.

 

If the block isn't cracked then you have some harry potter magic **** going on w/ that engine. The head gasket is an obvious point of failure BUT you replaced it. Loss of pressure + oil and coolant mixing also sounds like a crack in the block. Happy hunting when you tear it down.

 

the head could just as easily crack and leak coolant into oil..

 

yes i know this ... but like i said the head was leak tested and fluxed and no cracks were found.

i was looking for answers of any seals that would do this or misc things that could happen.

 

maybe the head gasket was installed wrong?..u did said you were a beginner at this stuff and thats not a job u should take first

 

Well there is a slim chance of that being true ... yes it was my frist major project on a car, but my budy from school who has alot of experience with cars helpd me with the install. He has put his own turbo kit on his VR6 golf as well rebuilt a few engines in his time. I used all new parts and head bolts torqued down 22lbs + 270 degrese and like I said compression was = all the way across and I followed All Data installation procedure.

well it will be coming apart on wednesday.
