ill put links up for the rest

but i was thinking that the head gasket was leaking into clyender 4
but it was the head leaking into 4

and 6.. theres 1 rusty bolt and loads of scum in the inlet plenum and it looks like a real bad gasket was used
as its falling apart in al the water gallery parts ,,that wasnt the worst pic of the gasket too
but dam i bricked it wen i looked at the block and sore chunks missing
then i remembered to take the gasket off
and block is ok!

Bloody hell mate, pretty bad huh!

[Sjoerd320i]

h*ly feck mate
that looks very nasty

[nav786]

it looks as tho a rat has been nibblin at it . atleast its gettin sorted

[Adammcf]

Damn thats nasty! Looking forward to seeing what my shiny new head will look like. I must start cleaning up the valves etc so its all ready to go back in.

[Martinaston]

Just out of interest, Could the old head be repaired by building the rusted parts back up with weld ?

And is that what they sell back to you as a recon ?

[psychochild187]

yeah , they can
u need to be good with ally tho, or it will be scrap AGAIN.

my friends going to have a play with mine wen hes good art ally welding

[320Touring]

dude that looks soo bad

was it all caused by gasket failure?

liking the shinyness thats going back on

[psychochild187]

it does look like gasket failer .it looks like the coolants leaked into it and got to the face of the ally and corroded it.



i was woundering wat to do as the bottom end will be full of gunk too . i was thinking of dumping the oil
then filling with new shit oil and engine flush and then run it up and dump that for the good stuff.

or new bottom end! or engine .bear in mind i have noooo money!

Good plan!

[Martinaston]

Just out of interest is the head warped slightly and could this have caused the problem. Or was the damage around the rusty head bolt ?(not tightened properly)

[psychochild187]

i think it was old/bad head gasket the rusty ones near number 4 the one leaking bad enogh to make the engine missfire
and the number 6 was on its way out oo

wouldnt of tought it was warped
but my new head aint

well i though if i (and some other e30 nut) put it back together and it blows up big end style ill still have the head still and grab a 2.7 lol
