Re: major cooling system problems-please help asap

another option instead of having the heads resurfaced (if you decide to go this route) is to buy a cheap used set. of which i have 2 sets ( and live in northeast bama) . on the leak, did you make sure you pused that elbow all the way up in there? you will feel a little pop when it goes in. also, did u make sure u had the right elbow in the right place?

if you interested in the heads just pm me. have them listed for around 100-150 depending on which set you want.

how hard are the heads to replace?

ummm it could take a few days... you have to pull of the intake manifold... pull all of the push rods out. make sure you number them correctly... then pull the heads and replace the head bolts cuz they are only good once. you will need all new head gaskets and everything. i suggest before you start ripping it apart talk to a mechanic... Just to make sure cuz they always see these types of issues. but its a big job. not a walk in the park unfortunately...

i fuc*** up my heads once and i just replaced the whole engine, then my dad busted the the new engine a couple of months ago im looking for a new one. the first time the messed up i had them resurfaced but the messed up two weeks after. as cubs said it a pain in the a$$ to get them out i pulled my engine thru the top but i heard its way easier thru the bottom.
