#136853, "Poll question: What head gasket do you recommend?"




          

Hi guys, well it seems that my HG is not sealing properly as I found oil in the coolant plus at idle the car is blowing white smoke from the exhaust. I'm thinking it could be the HG or maybe a warped head because my car has over heated a few times, thanxs to the fan grinding away at the radiator.... :/

I am looking for a better radiator to solve this problem once and for all. I do need to take the head of to verify that it is just the HG but it could be something else.Car feels good still, it pulls just as strong as ever I will do a compression test before removing the head anyways.

Any other thing in particular that any of you think I should check while removing the head?

Stock MLS. Also wrong section. This is not turbo tech related.

I would use "All Of The Above" on your poll. The question is how much do you want to spend? I've used Felpro's, OEM's, Cometic's. No problems with any of them. Its more important to have your face flat and smooth (not your human face). Hell, I've re-used multiple times with no problems (that includes re-using on the race car), just to prove the point.
