started motor up and idle'd really hard with timing advanced all the way.. so we stopped and did some things...car wouldn't start so i got out to see what else we could do...i happened to look down and noticed a clear looking liquid underneath the car....it was about 4 quarts of oil....so i looked around and it looks like it is coming from the head gasket????????? from the oil filter to the passenger side and below the distributer cap??????? the motor is a b16a2 99-00si...everything inside is replaced with new pistons, rods, cams, springs, valves, retainers, keepers and bored out to 81.5 and did a multi angle valve job......


!!!!!!!!!!! IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Who put the motor back together? Was the oil filter on tight enough? That's a lot of oil to have leaked out of the headgasket.

 

oil filter on nice and tight

 

head gasket upside down?

 

ther is only one way to mount the head gasket....between the block and head are markings that line them up and so they can meet...and the head gasket matches up with them

 

you're right about the markings although it is possible put the head gasket on upside down. my ex-co worker did it. oil spit all out the back of the block.
