ok guys here is the deal.. I did a PI headswap on my car and left a plug outta the back of the driver side head and one in the front upper side of the pass. head and I started it up for about 2 minutes when i noticed oil and water going everwhere so I shut the motor off and pulled the heads off again and found that i have had water mix with my oil somehow and I dont know how that could have happened anyone know what might be the cause could it have been a bad sealing headgasket?...please help me

i dont know check you bolts make sure they all are torqued(sp?) down correctly. did you use new head gaskets? they can only be used one time, now that you pulled them off again you will need new ones, again. time to change your oil also so the internals and every thing dont rust

BBond007

Your torqued them down in the right sequence? The right amount?

bearster18

yes i did...i followed it to the letter. But when I was undoing the bolts i noticed that some would ocme loose fairly easy and other i would really have to struggle with.

OIL GALLERY PLUGS You need 2. There on the old heads but there differant sizes. Go to a Ford dealership and get the 99-04 plugs. And they go in the upper corners of the heads.

ok i have every hole that is open in the heads shut with plugs now. Which they werent before so you think that should stop my problem?

Hopefully.

You really need to spend some time flushing your engine now. You should change the oil again, let it run for a bit and change it one more time...

yep gonna get all that nasty crap out of the engine before I use my expensive oil lol...Im still freaked as to if this is gonna happen again or not....

The oil shouldn't spray anymore, since you plugged the holes. Not sure if that's where the coolant was coming from though.

only one way to find out LOL.
