Headgasket blown?
Alright I'll make this brief. Needed to change the power steering pump on the f20 and haven't started the car in a few weeks. So I changed it out and started it. Turned over immediatley. It was making this horrible metal clunking sound. Not like a spun bearing etc, more like no oil in the head. So I turned it off after only 5-6 secs. I then turned it over again and same thing. I did this 2-3 more times for periods of 5-10 seconds. I then pulled the valve cover off to make sure nothing was ruined.the oil in the pan looks fine (checked from dipstick) Everything looks cherry, except for this......
If you look at the back bolt head has "milk" on it. I barely even noticed this. The oil in the head was slightly discolored. Pulled plugs there all fine. Then I scoped the top of the pistons. And every single one of them except cylinder 3 has droplets of water.
So at this point I'm assuming the head gasket. Any help would be nice. I'm still waiting on a phone call from my tuner.
Here's a slight mods list
Cometic 2mm hg (2 layers removed so a 1.6ish)
E85
Arp head studs
also, this motor tune and all has barely 30 miles Max on it. Or a run time of 2 hrs Max. Most of which was on the dyno.
