Title: Someone remind me NEVER to do.....
Post by: Welung666 on 11 November 2009, 21:10:37

... a rather' corsa head gasket again  >:(

What a nightmare  >:( 51 plate 1.2 16v.....

Sump off, timing chain cover off, timing chain off and that's before I even took a single head bolt out! Turned out I didn't even need to take the head off! It had gone on the timing cover rear gasket on the water jacket passage behind the water pump.

And to cap it all my torque wrench broke so I've had to guess the head bolts tightness. He's coming back Sunday so I can re-torque them after I've replaced it  ::)

So how much did you put in the Swear-box when you found out then ?.  My guess is enough to have bought the gasket in the first place !!  ;D ;D :D
