Okay, I managed to successfully place the head gasket back on but I'm a bit concerned. After reconnecting all the lines, hoses and harnesses, I noticed that there's a bit of a leak coming out by the number 4 cylinder under the upper rad hose. It looks like oil but it's not coming out quickly, just looks like it stays moist.

I did notice that when placing the head back on, there was a little port under the head where when I tipped the head to the dizzy side, oil came pouring out. I tried to drain this out as best I could and then placed it back on the block. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had this oil in the same spot as me.

This is my firsit head gasket change and I'm sure that it didn't go 100% so if any of you can help me that would be awsome!

so is your car running like that? if so, are you boosted and what problems are you experiencing?

 

nope, no boost, no problems.l other than my motor tends to get a bit dirty over time

 

When i changed my head gasket i noticed some oil in the sam spot you are explaining. Turned out to be my valve cover gasket. You should change that too.
