kimokalihi Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Yep, looks like a blown HG to me! Right between the cylinder and the coolant passage. That's pretty much how my HG looked after I blew it in my Toyota pickup. It slowly deteriorated over time though. One day I just started it up and drove it a few blocks, pretty slowly to the store. Got back in it and went to leave and all sorts of white smoke came out and it died. That sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a97obw Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Here is what I found when I replaced my head gaskets. I think the stated 8-10% "failure rate" of the 2.5 engines is extremely conservative. But thats my opinion. Yours could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
