putting motor back in after head gasket.


Recommended Posts

if it blew headgaskets, there's some gray area here, but flushing the cooling system is a good idea.

 

if you didn't assemble with assembly lube or oil, prime it first.

 

they often run like crap after being apart (particularly true of the ones with hydraulic VLA's). just hang tight and let those puppies pump up. and don't mind lots of smoke, good chance of residual coolant in the exhaust depending how the gaskets blew or how you removed the intake manifold/hoses (coolant often ends up in the pipes and takes awhile to burn off).

 

good lucK!
