so im building up a poormans type r
i got a b18c (p72) block because i blew up my b16a at the track one weekend. so anyways i started a fresh build on the block new pr3 pistons arp rod bolts and caps,and new type r head bolts. i honed the block with a nice cross haired finsih, and new seals. i used acl bearings and new rings. i ported and polished my old b16a head(pr3) and installed new valves, and valve seals. installed a new clutch and pressure plate exedy stage 1. after putting everything together and dropping the motor into my eg. filled all the fluids and started it up at 12am last night sounded real good for about 10 seconds.Than i noticed oil shooting out at like 90mph where the head meets the block at the rear. so i figure the head gasket must of jumped. should i keep going with this build or just give up lol. anyways thought maybe some of you would like that

 

Maybe you installed the headgasket wrong. Maybe you were to happy to get it done. REDO you will like it.

 

That happened to me one time then i realized my oil sending unit wasnt threaded in lol

I truly wish you made a simple mistake like mine gl

 

^ x2 on checkin on the oil sending unit..

 

why would you just throw away a build because you had one small issue. if you dont want the parts send them my way and ill build the motor and sell it.

moral of the story: dont let a small problem ruin your aspirations of your car. i have blown 3 motors, never stopped me. GL

 

true story!! fix your problems dont throw them away!

 

Dont just give up on a project because you had one small problem. If it urks you that much just put the motor in the corner or walk away from the whole project for a while. You will hate yourself later if you give up.

 

ya thanks guys i checked it over and found that i had the wrong headgasket on. it was a non vtec b18a head gasket, not the one i ordered lol. its up and running now seems pretty good so far i havent opened it up at all yet tho
