trickedcarbine Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I bet the coolant situation is definitely from head gasket issues. When you installed the head, did you torque the jugs down then install the head? It is best to just get the jugs finger tight on their studs and dowels. Then torque the head down in sequence. Follow that with torquing down the jugs last. It keeps the jugs from sitting at different heights and allows better sealing of the head. Also while that head is off, look to see if there are any markings that show where the blow by is occurring. Then inspect the sealing surfaces for dents or dings.

Mad_banshee_racer Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What about spraying the head gasket down with some copper sealant spray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytech Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 What about spraying the head gasket down with some copper sealant spray? copper coat spray will work great, but use a new gasket and install the way tricked just explained, and check the surfaces to make sure they are flat.
