I just recently rebuilt the head on my 93 turbo and put everything back together according to the book. Other than the posts I have already done on here, I found yet another problem. I changed the oil with 5 quarts Castrol GTX 10x30 and a Fram oil filter. After 4 quarts, i run the engine for about a minute and shut it off. Then i checked the dipstick and it was exactly 1 quart low. After putting about 30 miles on the rebuilt head, I checked the dipstick again and it is 1 quart over. I pulled the drain plug out and caught a little oil in my hand to see if there was any water in it. What came out looked like the old oil that I originally drained from it. I am not sure if it was just oil or if there was water in it. It did not look like water to me. Just black oil. I torqued the head to 68ft pounds which is right in the middle of what the book says...64 to 72 foot pounds. The car is not smoking. Any ideas?
