Steve M Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2003	Re: 18RGU help needed urgently Mon, 14 July 2003 11:34 Well, after many hours spent trying to find out what might have gone wrong we pulled the head to work out how the hell coolant was getting in the oil. The head was taken to a shop to get it surfaced and pressure tested. The pressure test showed up what we'd been fearing. The head has a ten inch crack running along the exhaust side from the front to the back on the top, but under the bridges. We've located an 18rgeu head that we will use to replace it. What a bitch, and we'd gone to the trouble of a port and polish too. The head could most likely still be used with some sealant but we just couldn't justify that after doing a rebuild. Oh well, at least we have a spare parts head now! As for what caused the crack, who knows for sure but my brother reckons it has resulted from a previous owner torquing the head bolts too hard. Has anyone else had cracking issues with a 88253 series head? [Report message to a moderator]
