ra23celicachick Forums Junkie Location: Mornington Peninsula Registered: September 2002	Re: Extremly high pressure in the 18R-C Sun, 16 November 2003 21:31 When I put loctite on it was on the rocker cover gasket, dad put the head gasket on and the head while I wasn't there so I don't know about where it was applied to. The car doesn't make any funny noises and runs really well. I'm having a bit of trouble starting it at the moment and have had to charge the batterie a few times. It's not from the starter motor and alternator cause we've checked all that out. The head that I put on there was off the engine that I pulled out of the car. The head was all cleaned up and had a home re-co job done on it about a year ago and it never had any of those problems, that's why I think that it's got to do with the block. Off the side of the rocker cover there is a hose that goes into the air filter which has blown a lot of oil and looks like a bit of water into there. I'm really hoping that it's just a bit of water in the oil still from when the head cracked and it's just turning to steam at the moment. I'm going to do an oil change tonight and hope that it solves the problems. But I don't know why it's hard to start either. What sort of Kingswood did you have? I'm a bit of a fan of them, a HQ was the first car that I was ever in and we had one for years, it was the good old reliable family car. Go the red block engines!! My b/f is actually doing up a HQ wagon at the moment so I'm helping out a bit with that too. He's got the 253 sitting there to go in it. [Report message to a moderator]
