    Car sounds wierd after headgasket install.

    My car needed a new headgasket (blown). First time i put everything back together, the car wouldnt turn over. I took everything apart and did some cleaning. Now i got the car to start, but it sounds strange, like a lawn mower. I also see coolant leaking between the head and the block. Could that be why the car sounds the way it does, or is it because my timing could be off. And no i did not install the headgasket up side down.

    Thanks

              Resurface block and head? If its still leaking obviously its not sealing. Yeah, your car will soung like shit when the engine has no compression because the head gasket's leaking

                    Don't start it up again until you're sure that you have good mating surfaces between the head and the block and the headgasket is installed properly.If its leaking, then the seal isn't good. Redo it and test again. If its all good (sounds good and no leaks) then I would suggest a compression test on all four cylinders.

                    ...adjust accordingly

                          headgasket

                          im willing to bet that you probably did not tourqe the head bolts properly or you have a warped head reason i say is cause it happened to me on a corolla i did ahead gasket on before taught me a lesson hope this helps

                            dont forget to check the block out too. And dont just do it with a ruler or something stupid.

                              make sure you tighten the head bolts in the correct order. later.
