Also I was wondering how long did it take you to replace your HG? I was thinking about doing it but didn't know how much of a pain in the ass it is to do. Is the 2mm the size to go with if you haven't had any other previous HG problems with the car?
Bad piston rings won't allow coolant to mix with oil. There are only 2 problems I can think of that cause oil and coolant to mix, Bad head gasket or cracked head.
