Is it possible...to blow your head gasket upon first start?
 
Well... Again with the problems. Im starting to hate this car... Car never over heat before rebuild, or had any problems of a blown headgasket... But today, we go to change the oil because I had no oil psi, and the oil was creamy, and had a light surface rust on the piston walls. I tq. It down to 75, like I was told...because 58 was supossubly too low... Wtf did I do wrong? I vowed not to dump any more money into it if it doesnt leave my house in running condition atleast, but im really about to part it out . Help??? Thank you

Many reasons this could happen: Cracked block or head, improper block or head prep, warped block or head, too rough of a block for the type of HG used... and on and on.

What type of HG did you install how were the block and head prepped? Was every inspected/measured for straightness, excessive pitting and cavitation and cracking? If the block was cut the rear timing plate MUST be cut to match WHILE BOLTED TO THE BLOCK!

What is the limits of pitting??? I think I found slight pitting in the head, but the machine shop clamed it was fine. Was I wrong?,

You didn't answer my other questions. If it's a MHG then no, it's not "fine" by a long shot and the shop should have known better... granted some places are far worse than others but in general, if you want it to last you make sure it's as close to flawless as possible before you ever even bring it home from the shop.

You have still not answered all the questions. Reread my posts and reflect.
