Hello all.
In December of 2015 I changed the front head gasket because the head had a small crack in the part of the cylinder 5. I sent for maintenance and soldered it and solved it with a new head gasket.
After changed I runned about 10,000 km with car, but began to present the problem of overheating again. I checked by pressurizing the coolant and the cylinder 3 was leaking inside. I removed the head and found the head gasket completely rusted, dismantling in the hands.
I used coolant solution (50% fluid + 50% tap water), but I've never seen a head gasket if it ends quickly.
I checked the cylinder and it needs burnishing. So I'll take the engine off and send the whole for maintenance.
Questions. To remove the rear axle from IRD, just remove those 6 bolts? What is the torx number?
I removed the radiator to make it easier to remove the head, but I broke the bubble outlet. You can use glue to fix?
The lower tie mount disintegrated with polypropylene.
