    bad motor

    I have a 1995 1.5 and it is leaking antifreeze into the third cylinder. I've gone threw two head gaskets and I had the head shaved but it still leaks. It doesnt look at all like the block is crack. If anyone would know what the hell is wrong it would be greatly appreciated.

    If you had it shaved at a shop that can't do MLS gasket surfaces then that would cause leaks. Also a slim but possible cause is the idle air control valve has coolant running through it and if the gasket leaks then your engine will suck in coolant, but that would show coolant in all the cylinders.

          Not likely the block is warped but it does happen some times. How warped was the head when you had it shaved?

            the head was only warped in one little spot right by the third cylinder.

              swaping motors isnt realy an option cause I dont realy have the money to get a new motor. I was just hoping someone might know whats wrong and how to fix it.
