Re: what fun, head gasket is trashed!

Doing a headgaset isn't really that hard man, just time consuming for the first couple times you do it. The first time you do it, it may take some time because you have to figure out what all to take off. But you will see, it's not that difficult. In Yuma, all of our DSM's started to have head problems all at once, and by the time we got to mine, 2 of us could get it off in maybe 1 1/2 hours. We just used common sense, just looked in there and we saw what needed to come off. Just don't forget the bracket in the back that attaches to the head and the block. That one we didn't see the first time and couldn't figure out why the thing wasn't coming off. If you look behind the intake manifold, there are 2 little plugs the wiring harness connects to. And those plugs are attached to the bracket I'm talking about. Good luck with Austin's old baby!!
