thanks deano
i dont think i did ay i asked a mechanic what to do step by step and i folowed it ........one thing didnt do was flush the engine like get all oil/water out of the bottom end could that be it
you can easily flush the block and radiator now to see if it's just old crap from before. if the head was in good condition, it's unlikely it would blow a head gasket again that quickly.
did you get the head shaved at all pressure tested?
Mate this is exactly what happened to me. I lost count of how many times i flushed out the cooling system and about 8 months (minimum) after the head was changed was it clear again. In that time i got a re-cond radiator, new water pump blah blah.. its just what happens man. Luckily mine is all sweet now.
yea got a brand new head cause mine was ****ed like nerly craked in half and i did get it shaved and pressure tested so it would just be all the old **** left in the engine?
