update... about a month ago

i took the car apart about a while ago and for some reason one of the water galleries in the head was corroed enough to be near the cylinder 4 chamber.. and its where exactly were the headgasket was blowing. so i think i found the source for the problem.

So took the head to a repair shop... some welding and a skim... almost like new. i put the engine together again and a mate helped me to torque the head (im not used to do that) so yes is up and running again.

now... the differential has some play its seems and its generating a big vibration to the hole car... need to look for another box

headgasket gone again on saturday night....

a missfire started on cylinder 1... and white smoke... took the spark plug out... water...

i took the cam cover out last night and only the cookies where missing... chocolate.

i checked the headbolts and they're very tight.

i dont know what it is now.

Warped or cracked head?

yesterday i went again at the bolts and they did tight again a bit... but after we did it it was still letting some water in.

So... will be off again. once its all back together i wont past 4rpms so it wont blow out again.

i changed the gasket again, yesterday... but changed the brand of the gasket, this one seems better quality (not original ones around at the moment) and the car seems to like it better.
