Coolent in Oil - New headstuds/gasket - 185compression ?? HELP :(
 

I'm ------ stuck .. I just got my head back on and everything back together last night, started it up and it was fine. Then i turned it off because a leaky oil feed (healthy oil). Today I started it up, immediatly coolent got in my oil .. I could see because i did a shity job at fixing the oil feed leak, and I saw it spray out. I fucked with some vacumme hoses, and a IM line .. Is there anyway I could have a hose on wrong .. or something simple? - the compression was 195 - 185 - 185 - 185.

Can someone please help me out, I'll paypal some money if i can get this worked out..

thanks -
Jake

what are the head studs torqued down to? how long before the leak (ie. old oil sitting in the feed line?)

im guessing by your name you have a ls right? lol anyway if youve installed a new hg and studs it shouldnt be the prob, honda says 185 psi for a stock ls motor is the ideal compression. what was the motor doing before you installed the hg and studs was it running fine?

Yeah, its an LS
The reason i changed it was of a leaky head gasket, I had my head resurfaced and torqued everything down to spec.
I put ARPs into block at 15ftlbs, then torqued the head down (with nuts/washers lubed with ARP moly lube) 20 - 42 - 68 ft lbs. I think i might of hooked the coolent line on my IM to my valve cover :X . theres a lot of info on this thread- please check it out: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1457293

thanks guys,

You could have any number of coolant line where a vacuum line goes. Recheck all the hose and make sure you fully understand what each hose is and its function.

Thanks man, good advice .. I'll check it out.

Is there any way I could have a cracked block? with 185 compression .. ??

my opinion, you should change your coolent's E into an A. ;D

let a few heat cycles pass before you make any definate conclusions
