Topic: Milkshake oil. NEW head

[Zs Confederate Toy]

I just had my old head machined and brought back into spec. Threw it on and the oil turns to milkshake. I ran two oil changes through it. The reason I had my head rebuilt was it was warped and was letting oil into the readiator and visa versa. Anyone have a maybe explanation?

Proper torque on the new head? Was it perfectly clean before installing with new head gasket? Did you do anything to the bottom end of engine?

[Zs Confederate Toy [OP]]

Head torqued to 60 ft lbs with new bolts, cleaned it with acetone, nothing done to bottom end. Thought it was ok

[brainlessfool]

left over from the head being bad? did ya clean it out?

 tchain ate a hole in the cover?

I let it drain for a couple hours and ran an oil change through it to clean it out, like Ive done before with blown head gaskets or bad heads. It seemed clean. I did pull the t chain cover to look at it and it was ok. There were grooves from a bad one before but no holes. I thought it might be just my luck. I have had no good luck with this motor since I installed it in January

Just asking, but did ya check the t cover real well by the grooves? Ive had ones that were EXTREMELY hard to see the crack where it would leak, Just checkin

I did look real good. Didnt see anything that would raise an eyebrow.

[Sparkplug]

dunno then. Compression good still? Leak down? Hows it run?

what head gasket did you use as a replacement?

also, did you properly torque it in sequesnce? there is a certain pattern to do it in......

and, did you check that the block was square before putting the head back on.....

did oyu take the head to a reliable machine shop? or some dude i na van?

you most likely wot be able to see a crack in aluminum.... you might want to just get a new tchain cover to eliminate that as an possible problem

I used the Fel Pro Permatorque, cleaned the block with acetone and made sure it was square. I torqued it to 60 ft lbs following the pattern in the haynes manual. It went to the machine shop that always does my machine work. They have buillt us some V8s and some 22r before.

[brainlessfool]

hate to be the one to tell ya butt Fel-pro is not what ya want on a 22r. foind out the hard way. most of the time ya can't see cracks in alm.
have to use die and a uv. light. think your going to have to take it back off (sorry) and make sure theres no cracks .
make sure the shop can cheak alm. for cracks. not every one can and most won't tell ya they can't. my
hope ya can fix it with out having to do that butt I'm thinking thats where ya's at.

p.s. stock yota gasket.

that head is cracked. probably between the pass side head bolt and water jacket void.

Ive used Felpro for years on chevies and fords and never had a problem but with 22R's every single felpro Ive used blew within a month.
Toyota dealer or DJ Rock, nothing else.

I had the head pressure tested when they milled it and it passed with flying colors. As for the timing cover I will look at just replacin it, I wont chance it. And the head gasket I will something else. I liked the look of the almost all metal Rock that we used on the old mans 85. Its still runnin strong

[Zs Confederate Toy [OP]]

 Ordered a new timing chain cover to give that a try.
