bhg on new motor how bad is that

two-step-n · Mar 2, 2010

i just rebuilt my 7mgte and a few miles later the head gasket blew.
How bad do you think that would be for my piston rings?

Piston rings are probably fine....bearings probably not

Only IF it's mixed coolant in with the Oil and been run that way....

Has it mixed Coolant and Oil?

Not to be rude, but if your headgasket blew after rebuilding the engine, you should consider getting help on the next rebuild.

It was just the assembly lube that made the oil look a little milky, so no bad head gasket after all.
thanks for all of your help.
