If the cylinder head gasket has been correctly fitted, the head has been checked to see if is not cracked or warped, then there should be no problem.


Ja.Oil in the anti freeze bottle,radiator has been flush out..what if it happens again..?
If the problem persists, you will probably need to get the head surface machined smooth to make sure the gasket can make a proper seal. But it sounds like it should work if the head gasket has been replaced. Also check the vavle cover gasket.
you might want to check your transmission coller if you have an a


automatic trans you could have a crack in the cooler in the radiator this is an easy test for a radiator shop good luck
when you change a head gasket you have to use a torque wrench tightening each bult a bit at a time. then you need to run the engine four an hour and tighten the head bolts again.
If the cylinder head and gasket have been done - the problem will not be there unless they bodged the job.





Should be fine now - you may get some residual oil in the system - check weekly to make sure and drain the header tank to remove oil contamination.





To be honest it should be fine - a little oil in the water won't do any damage in the long term
if the probelm still exists your block is cracked
wasnt done right and or its a crack have a presure check done
if the job was done right . it is hard to get all the oil out of the radiator . and water passage in engine . one flush is not enough. drain water again and re flush it if there is oil in bucket you drain ant-freezes in to . take paper towel and lay on top of oil in bucket a few times will remove oil off of top . so you can reuse it again
This only happens with petrol engines when the head gasket has blown between the waterjacket and cylinder/s.The same with diesels ,except for ingress through the injector sleeves.If the new head gasket is fitted correctly and the head checked, for tracking on the diesel, as well as distortion on both types of engine,you should have no further trouble.It is always wise to fit a new thermostat while you are at it.GOOD LUCK.
if the cylinder head and gasket have been replaced, you shouldn't get that problem again, but, sometimes you may need to get the cylinder head skimmed due to warping.
Oil in the water actually is NOT a good sign. They should have cleaned the coolant overflow bottle and the radiator when they did it. If you still see oil in your coolant, bring it back.
