ok, got the head of my car (finally, after manny cuts, and foul language)
now, the reason i removed it, was i had TERRIBLE oil in water, and a little water in oil.
when oil was removed from car, on two seperate ocasions, now and about 1000km ago, the oil was black, as it should have been, yet, on the inside of the oil cap, it was brown sludge.
the coolant water, was horrific, just sludge.
upon removing the head, there was excessive build up of this sludge between two and three cylinder, and it was all over the gasget in this area. normal looking oil was around the chains.
once the head was removed, i found out why i could not get the intake manifold off. the bolt on the chain side of the engine, had rust all over it, and had attached its self to the manifold.
the gasket that ws between the manifold and the engine was good, apart from where it had ben rusted together, it looked like it had been leaking into the manifold, but im not to sure on this. Is this possible at all?
the inside of the water inlets and outlets was rusty brouwn right the way through, and one of the tubes that a water hose actually goes on has actually rusted through a little (one of the little tubes, and ony on the top)
the head gasket didnt look to bad, but i dont really know what im looking for.
there seems to be no crackes on the head (trhank god) but i am going to take it in to get checked, and possibly machined.
Ah yes, there was also a big build up of black oil on the second cylinder from the left.
any clues at all, or should i just get the head cheacked, and put it all back together with new water pipes and gaskets
