A dictionary.


If you have coolant in a cylinder, you most likely blew that head gasket. Did you machine both the block surface AND the head?

Compression is very high on number one and very low everywhere else. On paper, that engine is not looking healthy.

Firefox has an automatic spell checker. It sometimes doesn't have the right spelling to pick from, but it will at least let you know if you spelled it wrong.

BTW...^He was probably right.

yes i machine both the block surface and the head .that was the point i was trying to have low compression.

 

[ForcedTorque]

Did you buy the head gasket before or after the machine work? What type of head bolts/studs did you use? What did you torque said hardware to? What type lube did you use on them? If you used stock hardware, were they new or used?

 

[mk3junkie]

i buy head gasket before the machine work used arp head studs torque it to 75lbs lube i dont know what the mashine shop used

Is English your second language? ^ not sure what you mean by this, machining the block and head increases compression and the thick headgasket is to make up for some of the lost material.

You definitely have BHG symptoms, probably caused by poor maching or improprer HG installation, but its hard to tell b/c i feel like were not getting all the info here.

im not sure what to tell u have 200miles after rebuild the mashine shop take it apart and put it back together.

 

[lewis15498]

When you torqued the head down did you do the studs in any specific order, and did you torque them down in increments or all at once?

 

[mk3junkie]

i did not do anythig the mashine shop did all of that

 

[lewis15498]

Take it back to them, they should stand behind their work.
Good luck.

It doesn't sound like they followed the ARP torque specs either. Your ARP's come with a chart specific to each vehicle and the torque specs vary depending on the type of lube used on the threads.

Everything that everyone told you is EXTREMELY CRUCIAL to avoiding a BHG and other damage.

They should definitely provide you with specifics and of course warranty their work.

Sorry to hear about this...

 

[mk3junkie]

yes will see monday morning
