Head gasket
What brand head gaskets do you guys use
Long story short was replacing glow plugs one broke off removed head to get it out got a felpro gasket from the zone put it all back together took a nice easy test drive came back in the coolant reservoir was empty
When I filled it back up it just went straight into the oil pan
Ordered a mahle head gasket set will I have an issue with those

Something doesn't add up here..were new head bolts used?
These head bolts are torque to yield and must be replaced every time. This deal is not a common deal and I wouldn't doubt fel pro quality tho I would use oe gaskets.

Personally, I would only use head gaskets from the dealer.... they are much thicker than the aftermarket ones I have seen. I agree with Aaron on using new head bolts. My guy at the dealership told me that they are not to be re-used. I also purchased them from the dealer. Much cheaper than Advance auto.
