Night Fury Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 My mother's Monte Carlo. She drives it 140 miles a day. In the winter, she has trouble with heat. It keeps getting air in the system. The problem: (rear, drivers side of head) http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x218/NHGC_Vineman/SANY0206.jpg[/img] Front seems to be leaking too, couldn't get a good pic though. Oy vey guess who gets to do this!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 felpro should. its just a metal LIM and UIM thats the only difference. napa sells felpro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88red4cyl Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 felpro should. its just a metal LIM and UIM thats the only difference. napa sells felpro The LIM and UIM on this car are already metal IIRC, and besides, no coolant goes through them... They redesigned the head gasket/bolts to make the bolts on the corners of the head bigger... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
