Ka24e leaking coolant

[Singlecamstunna]

I need help big time. I just rebuilt a ka24 and dropped it in. At first I was having trouble with the coolan lines. Figured it out now before I have even started it while putting in coolant, I see two leaks where the block meets the head. Front right and rear left. I've been out of a car for a month now since the Nashville floods took my other car. Is there anything that seals the head to block other than the head gasket? This is really becoming a pain in my backest of sides.

If it's leaking from the block/head joint then the headgasket is definitely your problem. I assume you installed a new hg with your rebuild, did you have the head and block surfaces machined? Did you use new head bolts/studs and torque them properly?

Regardless, you should pull the head and figure out why your hg is leaking. A leak without even starting it signifies a major hg problem.

I did all that you mentioned except machining the block, I don't wanna buy new head bolts again. Oh well. Oh and where does the hose from the pcv valve go to? The only thing I can think of is the little black box on the timing cover. Yeah?

The pcv hose goes to the intake doesnt it? If were talken about the same hose that comes off the valve cover then ya it goes to your intake, not the manifold but to the actual intake.
