Hi all,

Went for a drive up the beach today and blew a heater hose(the one from the bottom of the manifold), anyhow overheating, noises that are not suppose to be heard. Got it back to my inlaws, bubbling water in radiator and a nice big fountain of water shot out about a foot high!!!Compression tesed ok between 180 and 200 on all 4 pots. Decided head gasket.. Tore it all off with the father in-law, definate water getting to the oil, milky in rocker cover gasket :cry: .


Anyway, I am going to replace all my hose, thermostat etc etc etc etc, getting head crack tested also. Any thing else I should be looking for or handy assembly tips would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Rusho

Heads are prone to cracking, as are blocks. Pay close attention when inspecting top of block. Any doubts just post up pics.

you may as well replace your timing belt and water pump at the same time.
