BlackZ34Lumina Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 I 've got water in my oil and hopefully we are looking at only headgaskets. Have any of you guys ever changed yours. For that matter, has anybody ever rebuilt their engine? My car overheated real bad and I've got tons of probs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackZ34Lumina Posted January 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Is there a way to determine which Head Gasket is cracked? And is there any difficulties that you ran into when changing the head gasket? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 run a compression check. Start by keeping the spark plugs in. Then you should be able to pull the spark plug next to the cylinder you find to have lower comrpession and see if its leaking between cylinders. I dont recall anything overly difficult, other than time consuming to unbolt the torx bolts that go into the side of the rear head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
