So, i have just installed all engine parts after a head gasket replacement, just need to refill fluids. I wonder whether it would be better trying to start the engine and later take the sump off to...
I have pulled the head off and the nut is not stuck in the oil hole, and neither seems to be held in the head itself, so I believe it has reached the sump. That hole points directly to the sump, I...
hi, it is a aluminium nut about 4mm wide and 10 mm long. I was using it to fix a thread in the head. It is aluminium so magnets doesn't work.
It dropped in the right-back hole so I believe it...

What do you think about using this fuse like "anti-thief metod"? I mean, replacing the working fuse with a broken one if you plan to park in a unsafe place. ¿?
This issue has happened to me at least 3 times. 2 times was caused by a knackered sparkplug. The isolated part had a very very tinny crack on it.
I had also problem one day I missed the spark...
:D 3-4 hours of work!!! lol. I am spending several weekends to do this work, again :P
So, does the Cooper Spray works as good as "wellseal"? I still have got a can of cooper spray.
Yes, it seems that re-using the oldone is stupid.
But I need a 86mm bore head gasket and Cosworth is only available for 87mm bore. The Apexi is silly expensive but it is the only one for 86mm...
Do you mean a coat of Cooper Spray, for instance?
Mine did the same before the HG had gone. Cold starts were also a bit rough in the first seconds. There was overpressure in the radiator too.
Hello,
I am on the way to fix a head gasket failure. I have found the Apexi head gasket seems to be in good shape after all. Only scratches in the paint. The reddish marks are traces of cooper...
Hello. did you get any mayonnaise in your oil cap? I can see traces of white stuff in the oil cap, so I think the water is also entering in the oil holes.
I will retorque the studs. I wish this solved the problem.

95lb! I think my head gasket has kept healthy for 3 years just because I used cooper spray. 70lb and 1,4 bar seems now pretty dangerous.
To me it is far more difficult changing the head gasket...
Fitting a custom-built flexible downpipe was the best mod I did to avoid all these issues with turbo, manifold, vibrations, etc. Never had any stud/nut loosen in 5 years.
Try a Varta. The one you would buy for a Fiat Punto. They fit nice even with my old "Hybrid" FMIC.
Hello. :ken:
3 years ago I did fit an Apexi metal head gasket in my S14, along with ARP head studs. I torqued the studs at 70lb as ARP recomended. Now, after 30000kms at 1.4 bar, the head...
Hi,
After solved an air intake leak it seems EGT has dropped to 750ºC ¿? How come?

Hello.
My car meets stage 3a requirements, let say GT28Rs.86 , Tomei Poncams, etc, etc.

Hi.
EGT probe is located on the standard manifold, about 3 cms far from engine block, in the4th# outlet.
I believe that A/F figure is pretty rich. It is recorded in 4th from 5000 rpms
Thanks.
