Just finished 5 speed swap now coolant in oil

[fancypants7777]

I just finished the 5 speed swap. All I did was pull my motor and put the 5 speed on it and then put it back in I didn't mess with the head or anything all I did to the motor was do the oil pan gasket. And now there is coolant in the oil "milkshake" no oil in the coolant also It burns coolant coming out of the exhaust. But I did the head gasket (and intake and exhaust gasket and valve cover and timing belt and all that) 6 months ago it's only got 500 miles on it and It didn't leak before and I even drove it from OK to KS and the head gasket didn't leak. Is it leaking if so why?!

What brand head gasket did you put in? I've read horror stories about Victor Reinz.

Yeah but It didn't leak before and I was drifting it and doing burn outs and stuff.

Just pulled the head off

I just pulled the head off and the head gasket is fine. Why was it leaking coolant into the oil then?!

Cracked head? Warped?

Pressure test before pulling the head would have given you an answer. The heads like to crack under the camshaft, and are not visible.

Now that the head is off, you can take it to a machine shop and they can pressure test it off the car.

how common is it for the head or block to crack? were having the same issue with a b25 we just refreshed. ran a little hot while trying to bleed the m42 rad. now i'm afraid the (VR) HG is gone and possibly the head. luckily we have a spare head but i'm hoping the block is ok.

OP, post a pic of the HG. do you know what cylinders were leaking?

[ForcedFirebird]

Head cracks are fairly common. I have a pile of them here at the shop. They crack along the cam journals and are easy to diagnose. Pressurize the cooling system (pressure tester works best) and take the valve cover off. If you see water droplets coming out from under the cam and going down the drain holes, it's cracked. I have had several cars that come in after they did a HG and couldn't figure out why there was still coolant in the oil - we pressure test every head now and even made a setup to do it in house to save the $75 the machine shop charges.

Pulled head, Used a straight edge and head is warped between 5-6 cylinders.

You pulled fancypant's head? He said he pulled it and the gasket was fine, usually there's evidence of a leak on the gasket. Black streaks from combustion.

Now that's an image I did not need.

Nah, Just updating the thread.

Your only 2 posts in the thread is what's confusing. OP stated he just did a HG and now has coolant in the oil, then you post that the head is warped, and you both are in OK.
