After replacing the head gasket, I need to change the oil (coolant in the oil). Should I change it cold? Or is it OK to warm up the engine (and the oil) to change it? I'm concerned that the engine ma

Changing it twice would be safest. But if you have some used oil from a _recent_ oil change which doesn't have tree leaves in it and less than 10,000 miles on it, you could use it to "flush out" the

hi nory, i wouldn't start the engine if there is coolant in the oil-drain it and as the other poster said change it twice after running it each time some miles. jon

I would drain the coolant and oil before removing the head. After reassembly, pour new oil into the engine. Some of the water will be flushed to the bottom where it can be removed. Then with new oil

Change it as you normally would, hot. The oil has coolent in it already and I'm sure it has been driven that way for a while. As for changing it a second time naa. Assuming no damage has been done th

Change it cold. You don't want watered down oil circulating throught the If it were me, I'd to a second change (filter too) after the engine had been warmed thoroughly, just to be sure of getting the

Hi Nory, Yes, change the filter with each oil change. Some of the filter makers claim that their filters have some sort of acid neutralising additive in the paper. Maybe so, maybe no. Paper filters w

Todays question, fellow listers - Are you supposed to use gasket sealer on a head gasket? I've heard it's not necessary, but maybe it should be used as a "just to be on the safe side" type of thing?

I generally like to use just the gasket. If you have problems getting a good seal the proper thing to use for a head gasket would be the copper spray sealant. It is horrible sticky gooey crap that yo

Hello Nory On my "B" i do use the spray copper filler on both sides of the head gasket. I also use aircraft style studs so thay wont stretch as much as stock ones. These studs can be used over again
