There is a small leak of coolant at the rear of my head on a newly rebuilt 223 of mine; I have spoken about it in my other thread.
I've been told and have figured out that the real only way to fix it is to replace the head gasket. I've voted against using sealer.
I have a couple questions.
1)I don't know what the shop used in the rebuild, but I was going to go to autozone and get a Felpro, is that a good idea? I've heard a lot of good things about Felpro.
2)I need this done in a timely manner, would this be doable in less than a day?
3) Would I have to worry about getting coolant spillage into the cylinders?
All I want to do is take the head off, clean surfaces, then slap it back on, nothing fancy--the motors already friggin rebuilt. I'm personally infuriated that I should have to be doing this on an engine that started doing this after less than 500 miles(all surfaces were decked).
Thank you.
