Re: First Head Gasket Job

Just start it up, let it warm up till it gets to running temp, make sure there's no leaks and give it hell. When I did the HG on my car last year it had been running for a total of about 30 mins before I ripped through the gears and it's still holding just fine.

I just got back a little while ago and took it for a test drive. So far so good! I do have a coolant leak on the heater pipe though, so I need to fix that up. Otherwise she's running good.

Thanks for the help everyone.
