Well to start things off im driving a gsr (b18c1). I just did an oil change and i happend to look under my oil cap and notice a milky white substance mixed with my oil. I heard it was a bad head gasket and oil and coolant is mixing up. Would it be safe to drive it like this, or would i have to get my head gasket change asap? Anyone with advice please let me know.

Thanks

 

Change it now!

 

Do a compression test to confirm. When you pulled the oil out, was it mixed with coolant or just the milky substance. Doesn't look good though. Good luck.

 

Well actually i didn't notice the milky white substance in my oil when i changed it. I noticed it when i decided to look under my oil cap. It only seems to appear in my oil cap not my oil when i did my oil change. Also i just swap out the head gasket about 3 weeks ago and i torque it to spec. Is it required to remove it guys?? Or should i do a compession test first to see if its leaking? HELP!!!

 

I don't think I understand what you are saying. Did you reuse the old headgasket or use a new one? If you used the old one, it will not seal right and you will have to tear it apart again and use a new one. You can only torque a headgasket down once.

If you used a new one, did you get the head resurfaced? Do a compression test to make sure everything is fine. The tester is cheap, so it wouldn't hurt.

 

Some condensation is normal if you somewhere cold & you do lotsa short trips & park outside.

 

you can reuse it but you have to spray it with copper before hand. still not the best idea though.

 

I would rather pay $60 for a new one than chance reusing the old one to find out it leaks after putting everything back together.

 

I would take a part the head and seand it out to get check to see if you do not have a little crak in the head . Also it is recamened to put a new gasket very time you tear it a part.

 

I agree, always use new gaskets when ever you do any repairs like that
