New 2.0 frags a head gasket...Once again the car puts a gun to my head
I knew this car couldnt be happy long with a new motor and head. I was
rotating the tires this weekend when I notice oil dripping down the back of
the motor..hmmm. The head is perfectly dry and its puking oil down the back
of block...fucking great. So I wiped it down took it for a 30 min drive and
it soaked the area again. Looks like a blown head gasket to me. Well at
least I got almost 8K miles out the car before it had a major failure. I
know alot of 16Vs weep oil back here, my 1.8 did till I put a new head
gasket on it and it stayed dry for 100K miles, but it is not unreasonable to
expect it not to leak with a rebuilt block and a brand spankin new head.
Didnt your 2.0 do this too Craig? Did you get your head gasket from
Potterman?
With new euro bumpers and custom grill and boxes of new parts she is
sitting in the damn garage where the spoiled bitch belongs. What is it with
this/these cars? They have us either maxed out on the bliss meter or ready
to douse ourselves and them with gasoline and smoke a cigarette? ughhh....
Thank you for your time.
