Some late night bad news for ya'll... I'm fairly certain the Eclipse's head gasket has started to leak again. In this video we do some tests to try to confirm it.

I'm still not 100% certain but time will tell.

Keep at it man, I still love your content even without a shop. Little bumps in the road like this are bound to happen. I'm honestly impressed all of the work you do doesn't break more lol (I mean that as a compliment to your workmanship).

I know you are trying to keep the eclipse as close to “stock” as possible but a Kswap would be sick In this car. Also side note I’ve been needing a new case for a while time to get a fancy new one!

Hmm. Just like you said, iron blocks usually don't warp. And I mean.. the 4G63 is closed deck, making it even stronger.. Either it has been very abused, OR perhaps the new gasket you installed had some small defect or wasn't clamped down hard enough? I'm not saying you didnt torque it properly, but it can definitely happen when stressed etc.. or maybe the threads in the block gave up in one or several of the holes? And I can't remember off the top of my head, but did you have the head checked for cracks etc?

Greg Rhyne

Could be a cracked/warped head as well. That’s more likely than the block.

Chase Stewart

The block and head are fastened together. If one warps the other will too. It just depends on how much. Curious if you took a straight edge / feeler gauge to the block surface?Chasing the threads for the head bolts is also important yo prevent false torque readings. Can make a tool from an old head bolt by cutting channels on the side.

Not sure if anyone suggested doing a combustion gas coolant check, that will definitely give you the honest truth to if it’s the gasket.

Chase Stewart

Agree. ChrisFix has a good video on this.
