I recently took on the project of replacing my head gasket, timing belt, and water pump.
I had the head shaved down 3 thousands of an inch.
Everything went back together very smooth except within fifty miles my oil light came on and I noticed most of my oil was in my coolant.
I have two thoughts on what the problem may be. .
1. There was oil in the bolt holes that I didn't remove and maybe the head formed a hydraulic crack when I torqued the bolts back down.
2. There are a few parts from the gasket kit that were left at the end and I do not know where they go. Could these parts be the problem and where do they go in terms of where the gasket/engine/head come together?
Please let me know if anyone has done a gasket and knows where the parts circled in blue go, as well as the ones circled in red.
Thanks,
Jashull
