Hi,

I have a large oil leak.
It's leaking on the cilinder head between cil. 2 and 3!

It's Reinz group a head gasket with original new bolts.

The gasket is used only 1500 miles, and the bottem en head have been flattenend.


Does anyone have a idea how this can happen??

 

is it not just the rocker cover gasket that is leaking mate

 

Thats what i was thinking or cam seal???unless the head isnt torqued down properly then i cant see it leaking between head and block..

If it's leaking on the inlet side check VERY carefully the oil pressure switch, seen a few failures recently, this normaly is pointing directly upwards, but if your is pointing slightly forward, then will soak massively the whole side of the block, and leave puddles of oil everywhere, it leaks between the metal outer part and the plastic centre part that has the terminal in the centre.
How tight did you torque down the hg ?.

The headgasket is torqued down with original bolts, exactly the way ford descriped in the manual.

Im sure he would see oil everywhere if it was oil pressure switch but deffo worth a mention..
