Head Gasket Part 2
Well what started as reasonable became more laborious. The drivers side #8 cylinder head bolt was not accessible no matter what I did so the engine is coming out for all new gaskets. I would post pics but everything is oily and dirty. The engine will be pulled Sunday and then the fun will start. All for a leaky head gasket. I did find that #2 and #5 exhaust ports had leaks through the exhaust gaskets. Lots of tedious little things to do to make it right, lots of cleaning, but I want it done right so that's the plan. Transmission is out. Engine will have to come out through the passenger side of the vehicle. Copper coated exhaust gaskets ordered. The cleaning process is also taking time. I am wondering if I should re-do the oil pan gasket and seals to dry up some of the leaks. The intake had cork gaskets on the fron and rear and they leaked. I suspect that was where most of the oil was dripping from.
