warped head?

[TalonFULLtune]

I blew headgaskert after blowing off the oil filter. Put everything back togather with a mls headgasket but its seeping coolant under the cam gears. Is this warped? And can i mill the head and how much? thanks for all the help

Any pics and was the head and block decked.

No the head and block havent been decked as far as i can tell. I only have had this car for 3 months not sure of its history.

Well I would pull it and check it out if you aren't sure.

The head and block need to be resurfaced specifically for an MLS head gasket in order for it to properly seal. I would pull the head and have it inspected by a machinist. They will be able to tell if the head is warped, cracked, etc. If the head checks out, I would get a basic resurface done and install with a Mitsubishi or Felpro composite gasket. Also be sure to follow the proper torque sequence when installing.

As WES said, in order to have a MLS HG properly seal you need both the block and head to be surfaced. A composite head gasket will allow the seal to work well after having just the head surfaced as long as your block is still in good shape. It takes a lot to warp the block, but its pretty easy to warp the head with a blown HG

WES and primo covered it.

Some reading for you.
