jmartinez Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Need help... I just put my top end back together. All new base gaskets and new head gasket. Motor is completely stock, with a stock head. Torqued down everything to 20ft/lbs. In the order specified in the Clymer Manual. Added radiator coolant and saw that coolant is seeping out of the head. I haven't put in any tranny oil. Checked the trany oil drain plug and it is dry. So I'm pretty confident no coolant got into the case. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Would it be okay to drain the coolant, take off the head, inspect it, and re-use the head gasket. Or am I gonna need a new head gasket? I would hate to have to buy antoher gasket locally. They charge an arm and a leg. But I'm trying to get this fixed by Thursday for a glamis trip, so I guess if I have too, I'll suck it up and buy a new gasket at the premium price... Any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
