Gas smell sa radiator at reservoir

[GBStJames]

Guys!
I recently had my crv top overhauled (cylinder and block resurfaced). As I was cleaning the reservoir I smelled gasoline. So I removed the radiator cap and tried to smell the water in the radiator and there is a hint of gasoline smell. Naaamoy din sa radiator cap.

AFIK sign yun ng damaged head gasket. But the head gasket is new and I was there when the cylinder head was being put back. I am quite sure na bago yung gasket at in-sequence yung pag-torque nung mga bolts.

I am really hoping that it is not the head gasket. http://5175.voxcdn.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif
And I am also hoping that the smell simply comes from the residue of the gasoline my mechanic used to clean the head and the block.

baka residual lang yan bro... have your cooling system clean up using LAVRAMON...

Bro,baka ung pinanglinis lang ng reservoir or ng radiator ang naamoy mo.gas or kerosene kse ang madalas gamitin ng mga mekaniko na pang babad sa mga parts bago re assemble ng engine.

i say this in jest, but i think there is some truth to it:
"ano ba sa engine bay ang hindi may amoy gas?"
