Head gasket nightmare


Recommended Posts

harbor freight for the win on the ratcheting ten mm wrench. ten, fifteen bucks for a whole set.

 

engine bay dirty? clean it :grin:

 

I vote for not pulling, unless as grossgary mentioned, there are "extenuating circumstances"

thats the fotos of me doing mine with engine in car. one short, easygoing day of disassembly, one short, easy going day of re assembly. cranked on first shot.

 

Sorry, no fotos of the assembly; i forgot my camera that day.

All torn down. Heads were definitely not machined and, while not warped, definitely could use it. Found several mismatched/missing/loose bolts (like a cam case bolt used to hold the intake on...) so I'm glad it blew again. So far it looks like smooth sailing. Except that I want to get it done by Thursday and my "gasket set" didn't include cam carrier or cam case o-rings:mad:
