External Head Gasket leak (I think)

<< < (3/3)

pilotlars:
I was going to suggest that approach! i've seen that online I'm sure... It seems too clever and cheap for me to have thought of it myself lol. Since mine had a ripped timing belt when i bought it I had to position the cams individually then lock them in place so they don't move. I think I succeded.

Update:
1.  New timing belt and adjusters are here, and the old adjusters are off.  (Thanks to you guys, I figured out how to get to everything.)

2.  The cylinder head is sitting on the new head gasket, ready to torque down. 

Thanks again for the help!

SHOwn:
For the record, XR2S can lift the head and break the head gasket seal an mine did and was pushing oil out the right front corner near the oil return passage. May not be common, but mine also overheated once, breaking one of those pencil thin coolant hoses feeding the turbo.
I went with ARP head studs and a Cometic head gasket and a mill job.
