i got my gsr swap done and i started it up for 10 seconds, saw some sort of fluid fly up and shut it off, looked under the car and there was about 2 quarts of oil spilling all over the ground, it had shot all over my firewall as well so the oil must have been under quite a bit of pressure

i then noticed that in my haste of putting the head on I put the headgasket on upside down like a dumbass would this cause me to loose 2 quarts of oil in 10 seconds?

if not does anyone know what it could be, i was pretty sure that everything was hooked up but i will check again tomorrow when i take the head off to flip the head gasket over

I also have and oem s2000 filter, could this leak oil as well?

nothin dripped from the block until the oil gained pressure from the oil pump

as you may understand im quite pissed off and and any help is appreciated

 

this sounds similar to what happend to me cept i was drivin...take off ur filter and make sure it doesnt have double gasket...sometimes when u take the older one off that rubber gasket stays stuck where the filter goes

 

i made pretty sure that there wasnt one, but maybe i missed it

 

ttt

 

from what i have read, yes an upside down head gasket will do that.

 

for sure, thats what i thought as well

anyone think it would be safe to re-use the gasket and just flip it over since the car only ran for about 10 seconds?

 

yea done it before put headgasket on upside down dumped like 3 qts out prob need new headgasket now

that sucks ***, is there any reason why i would need a new one? would the oil pressure bend the gasket or somethin

 

Gasket has already been pressed.

 

mega ******* gay, they goes $60 down the *******

 

you could try it, I did blew it like 20miles later so... up to you whether you wanna take your head off again.....

 

clean

 

Pretty much. I had a guy come in and use gasket maker for a head gasket, and then he tried to blame the disaster that was his car on me the next week.
