My head gasket. Over and over.

Re:You know what really blows???
Get the head surfaced along with the block and use copper spray on the gasket. I hate changing head gaskets over and over and over and over again. >:( This is the last time I swear!!!

Re:You know what really blows???
how much does copper spray and a head resurfacing cost?
|
Re:You know what really blows???
It cost me about $30 for head surfacing and I don't know about the copper spray. I haven't got that far yet. I'm sick of head gaskets and I'm going to make sure it seals good and never overheats this time.

Re:You know what really blows???
yeah permatex makes it.
also get the head resurfaced everytime, dont risk it. then just spend a few hours on getting it all off the engine. |
Re:You know what really blows???
I think this one is working. Used the Permatex copper spray-a-gasket and painted the gasket really good. The head had no warp. With an accurate straightedge, it showed less than 1.5 thousandths distortion. I overtorqued the head bolts to 60lbs (I know this is bad practice) but I think that helped out because the last gasket was blown over about 10 square inches total.

Mine looked good on a straght edge, but the surfacing showed it was warped. It had small waves in it. We'll see Monday how well the copper spray works. :-\ God I hope it works. :(
