just fired up the crvtec........big problem, need ideas
 

ok i bought the crvtec from a local guy, hes very smart and respected as far as honda's, some of you make know him on this board as Reno Racing......anyways i got it all put in a fired it up, it started perfectly and i only let it run for 20-30sec. I get out and my buddy was telling me its leaking oil on the tranny from the dizzy area.......we look under the car and it looks like %80+ of my oil came out of the motor in that time!........checked all the sensors and dizzy but they were all fine, the leak looks like its coming from the headgasket/head.......now the only thing i can think of is maybe he told me he plugged the head but didnt??? what else could make it loose that much oil that quick? any suggestions would be great, other than that the motor seems to be perfect

ya sounds like he forgot to plug the head or could it possibly be the oil line to the head? easy to check if your head is pluged though just put your finger on the back side of the block by where the oil line comes in it will be leaking like a mother right under that if he didn't plug it.

well from my other thread on ht im guessing its the HG being upside down, Tbone on ht was telling me if i look at the front left of the motor (at the hg) i should see the serial number hanging out, if i dont than its upside down, well i dont, this is what i see......
