Re: big problem
is there somebody that can diagnos this and fix it possibly because i have neither the time to fix it myself, or the money to send it to some garage and pay a lot

Re: big problem
Where is the oil streaming from? You haven't spoted the location yet? If it is still leaking from the oil pan gasket you might need to scrap the block and then install the gasket again. Are they cork or rubber?
When gaskets are put on you need a clean surface or oil will leak past the debris. There are only a few places oil could possible leak from: Cam seals, oil pan, valve cover and few others.

It has Type r pistons and the head is shaved.. It is far from built.. How many times did i tell you i would fix it before you bought it?? You insisted on doing it yourself. You pm me and say oil is coming out of the head..But two days before i sold it to you it had 245 255 psi on all four cylinders. You said.. "Thanks for not letting me know this much was wrong".. I daily drove it after it was done and put 2400 miles on it, in two months. I drove your dad around for 10 minutes. I got on it pretty hard two or three times. Runs perfect. I know where the oil was coming from. The oil pan gasket was cut in half and oil was steadly driping out.. I know that car inside and out. I dont understand why you would turn down me replacing a oil pan gasket on a car your about to buy with a bad one. I told you if you had any problems to call me or pm me and i would help you. How tight did you get the 10 mm oil pan bolts to.. I belive its like 10 inch pounds, With isnt much. You shouldnt try to do something you arent familiar with.

Re: big problem
i am familiar with changing gaskets thats no problem, i babied the car since i got it and did everything right with no shortcuts, i wasnt trying to mess up the car that fast...i saw oil up near the head gasket so how is it only from the pan??
