Need some help replacing head gasket on my b18b...
So heres the deal, im willing to pay someone cash to come to my place and dismantle my car and install a new head gasket. I have started on it but do not have all the tools needed to finish the job.
Heres the story on the engine. I just had that motor rebuild 600 miles ago. All new seals, gaskets, bearings, valve stems, flywheel, clutch etc. The car was overheating for about a week before it blew the head gasket. The thing is, it never overheated long enough for me to pull over and put water in it. I put more coolant in it once the car was cool, and then later that day it didnt want to start. After 45 mins of messing with it, it started and poof! White smoke everywhere... Not sure why or where the problem occured.
Hit me up if you have the knowledge to do this. Text 360-581-8715. Im in hampton.

it was done by a friend of a friend. When i finally got one of my friends to come help me with it, we seen the motor was missing the pvc valve. We went to the guy who installed the motor for me and he "misplaced" my old b18b that only had rod knock. never gunna go to him again.

I would do it, have done plenty before. However, with the list of issues, I think a head gasket is just the start. If its overheating within 600 miles, I'm thinking something else is up with the setup. Also, if he did just build the motor and it popped a headgasket within 600 miles, I'd have his ass over fixing it.
Good luck.
