Hi All,

I just finish rebuild my Engine. D16A6
Arp head Stuts,
Eagle Rods,Vitara Piston.
T3/T4 trim Garrett.
I still have water in the Oil i Just replaced the the head gasket again.
I check the heads for cracks and the block looks fine.
How i can check where the leak is. or Where the the water is coming from.
I let the the car running but the first 5 minutes wars fine.
Is there a way to test .
I did a Compression Test 125psi all Cylinder.
I torque the heAD with 50 lb-ft.



Thx torsten

 

radiator pressure tester pump it up and see if it drops and if it does see if it starts going into your oil

 

Thx i will dry this tomorov.

thx torsten

 

is the head gasket on backwards????

 

its a good question the head gasket only fit one way. how u know its the right way.

Thx torsten

 

Hey Forum,

I just let the car idel for about 45min the first 45min the oil is bin fine.
I hate a very hight oil Pressure idel 75psi 3000rpm 95psi.

Thx Torsten

 

do you have the coolant lines ran right? mainly the lines on the back of the block.

 

i have to look to have a Diagram from the coolant lines.
1 line goes from the intake manifold to to evap and 1 line goes to radiator line.

THx torsten

 

just make sure you didnt mix your coolant with your vacuuum linesss

 

whens the last time you had the head and blocked checked for warpage? When you torque down the head bolts are you making sure the threads in the block are clean? Also, are you using lubricant with the head bolts?

 

^^ I was going to say the same thing. If your head or block is warped it doesnt matter how many new headgaskets you throw at it, its still gonna leak. If you blew the headgasket before you did the rebuild thats the main thing I definately would have checked.

 

Hey

i just have the block back from the maschine Shop and the head . the motor and block is total Rebuilt. I never drove 1 mile with the car i just let car idel for but 30min. Can't drive the jet have to wait for my Traction Bar.

Thx Torsten

I used ARP stuts with Arp Grease and i Torque the Head with 62 lbs. I just checked the head again.
And i made a radiator pressure Test the looks fine.

 

my next question would be did you use all of your dowel pins?

 

yes i install 2 dowel pins.

thx torsten

 

I don't know if a d series has this but my friend once hooked up a coolant line that goes to the crossover tube (tube from water pump to thermostat housing) it has a port coming off of it in the middle and he hooked the line to a crankcase pressure port on the back of the block right above the crossover tube.

 

take it to a shop and let them figure it out... with the internet divine ball of "knowing wtf i did wrong" its not gonna help, you'll just exhaust all options and PROBABLY nail it.

take it to someone that knows, obviously that's not you.

 

na i will figure it out. I don't like to give up.
