Argh. I tried to use the 12mm bolt-size 1.6L NA head that has an extra oil return hole with a block that doesn't have that return. I used a gasket that matched the block. I filled it with coolant and it started leaking out between the head and the block where the extra oil return hole is/should be. Damn. I thought I could use this head with a block that has no extra return? Could it be that I must use the gasket that matches the head?? Maybe there's something else I'm overlooking? Please HELP! :-/ Brad ------------------------------------------------------- |
