head gasket?
alright so i have about 50 miles on my rebuilt ls/vtec.... before initial startup i used the cylinder leakage tester and found no problems what so ever, so started the car, well it keep sounding like it had an exhaust leak, but the more i listened to it i realized that it was coming from the head, so i put my cylinder leakage tester back on and saw that the air wasnt coming through the valves.... it was actually coming up through the other spark plug, what the ----, theres no way this could happen with a good head gasket right? i also noticed the radiator would empty quick as ----.
now i do have arp headstuds and i THINK i had torqued them to 85, im not sure, but when i put the torque wrench on last night thats where it clicked at.... so i ordered a new headgasket and am throwing it back on tonight.... anyone think its something different?
