Common place for a head gasket to leak? *Pic*

[teh_mugen18]

if your ls/vtec is leaking from around the area. then you might want to check your tap and plug you did on the head when you did the conversion. it might be leaking from the head where the plug goes and since there is no oil passage on ls blocks from the head it leaks out.

you will leak about all 4 quarts in a few minutes if you didnt tap it at all. due to the fact vtec heads have that hole for oil to go through and ls blocks dont have it....but if its just leaking a little bit then you might have not tapped it right and its maybe leaking...

just saying. since you said 2 or 3 ls/vtecs leak oil from around there.

if you dont findout wat it is, check your tap and plug for the head.

Ah, thanks for that ill go back and check that. Cuz when i got my head, it was already pre-tapped so i was thinking it was 100% good to go.

lol, 2 or 3 lsvtec's that ive SEEN, only 1 of them was mine

yea definetely check it out if it was pre tapped. you could even re tap it or use some teflon tape.

Nah, i think what ill do is probably have that pesky lil tap removed and just have someone weld the aluminum to fill in the spot, and then just resurface the head... that way theres 0 worry. lol.

Haha, yeah, but there's supposedly like 1 or 2 places in GA that still will do it

good luck findin those.

id just do it the other way, just incase you ever want to run a gsr block or b16 or even type r.

Well, im sure if you found a good enough machine shop, they could probably match the location/size of the ''untapped'' drain port and re-drill it so the head would work on any of the other vtec blocks again...
