old sub freak Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 so i am heading to denver from palm springs with a blown head gasket or cracked head.i used some Bars head gasket sealer 1000 miles ago. it worked great for some time .then i went up a long hill,never over hearted but mabey using compression on the way down might have done something...or? so i re-applyed the 2nd half last night and hope to make it to colorado.so does anyone know a good shop between grand junction and denver? and/or a good place to get some e81 heads... 100 degrees here at the Salton Sea today.....almost too much.but i'm heading to cooler places.thanks for any leads,Todd:banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
