hello I just replaced my headgasket and had the head checked and surfaced. the block was pressure tested and now I am wondering how in the name of all that is turboed I am getting oil back into the coolant. this is the second time that it has been flushed and still it has returned. can anyone give me any ideas on what could be wrong??? sofar I feel like I have just been

did you get the head torqued down to the right spec? did you flush the coolant before you put the head back on, by leaving the coolant in the motor while changing the head you can get oil into the coolant or coolant into the oil or both! there for it would seem as if you have a leak somewhere, get a leak down tester and see if you do have a leak... sometimes if you over fill the motor with oil you can blow the head gasket again! its sucks but i have seen it done, so all that work was for nothin. i need more info to determine the problem though, is your oil getting lower everytime to drive it or while the car is running? is there coolant in the oil?

the oil stays about the same but the motor is starting to run like a backstreet boy at a gwar concert... I have gone through everything and cant figgure it out. I was told that I should check the oil to water cooler and repace it regardless.

I really dont think theres any coolant in the oil
just oil in the coolant

well what you could have done is crushed the oil cooler when you put the filter on or if you tightened the nut thats under the filter too much! run a leak down tester and see if you can figure out where the coolant is going to. i believe you can get them from autozone, they loan the tool to you for the cost of the item, then when you return it they refund your money! well worth it if i were you
