ok, so the head gasket was on upside down.... that's not the problem though. as I found out today. today, I put a new head gasket gasket on there, filled it up with coolant, guess what happened.... that's right. poured right out the oil drain plug hole( i left it out just to make sure). I'm about to give up. I know the sleeves are good(there was still coolant in the passages when I took the head off.) i'm 99.9% sure the head isn't cracked( it was fine before I rebuilt the engine) so the only thing I can think of would be I mixed up a hose some where. could it have been one of the lines going to the breather box on the back of the engine? that's all I can think of. any ideas guys?
