car wont go past 3000rpm and make gargleing noise

[theboss88]

car wont idle at all, makes a gargleing noise. the motor smokes from the timing belt side but i just rebuilt the head and did a whole headgasket timing belt job on the car. the car ran great for an hour then all of a sudden it just died while driving it. it wont go over 3000rpm and if i push the clutch in it just stalls.
the car will not go over 20mph

From what I've experienced, using bars is better for stopping leaks in radiators rather than blown seals. If it is a seal I would probably just replace it.

well it turns out that the torque wrench i used was broken to tighten down the head bolts so thats why the head was leaking haha. but yea the car runs great now!!! has anyone ever had any problems of getting the top part of the thermostat housing to stop leaking?? cause mine leaks

take off your thermostat housing in clean off the old gasket that is still stuck on there, and get another one.. becareful when tightning it back on cause i broke mine very easily.

it still is leaking
maybe mine is cracked
