Here's the scenario... Installed whole new Skunk2 valvetrain this weekend (cams, springs and valves), into my B18c, during which the head was pulled. We used a new Mugen head gasket and put everything back together, torquing down as per Helms...
After we fixed a timing issue (belt was off 1 tooth), we fired her up, and after the fuel system pressurized again, it ran like a champ! Sounded AWESOME...
But then, something happened, and HUGE amounts of oil began POURING out of the engine, seemingly from nowhere... Can't really see too well under the intake manifold... But anyways... The oil is definitely coming out with pressure, and not just leaking... In the 10 seconds or so we ran it, we lost about 2 quarts...
The guy with the most experience thinks it's probably the head gasket, that maybe it was bent or something during shipment or whatever... But I'm not sure.....
Anyone have any advice on what could have caused this, or anyone have any suggestions on where to check next???
I'm about ready to slit my wrists over this, so ANY help will be appreciated.... Thanks guys...
