Over the weekend i've been putting my 1600 in my nova and everything was going fine until it was started up and water started coming out of the throttle body and exhaust.Does anyone know what i could done wrong.Someones said maybe i have the head gasket on upside down:confused:
any help would be great cos its doin my head in lol

Head gasket only goes on one way, cant see it being a HG fault anyway. Check the pipes that go to the throttle body, think theres 2 / 3 ? ones a breather off the cam cover and the others are water pipes (think theres a water jacket around the throttle body), if you've got 2 of them the wrong way round (water pipe going to breather) then you'll have water p*ssing out the throttle body, had the same prob on a mates 1600.

As above, its very very easy to do unfortunately!!

Sounds as though some breather &/or TB coolant circuit pipes are mixed up.

Its going to need an oil change after this I reckon.

Did it cut out when you had it running?
Could have done some rod damage.
