Changing a head gasket is straightforward if you have the patience, time, tools. But before you change a head gasket, once you get the head off, you are better off having the block and head inspected thoroughly for warping or cracks. Because you are still throwing the dice if you just replace a head gasket without first knowing the root cause and resolving that first.
You are so right man! No short cuts in life.
Thanks man. You helped me make up my mind. Ill be tearing into my engine starting today.
Man thank you so much for your time and effort to put this information out there
You're right dude, I ain't sticking that shit in my car. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart, 2.0 liter. I don't have the money to buy something else, so I have to fix it. And I won't try and take the easy way out and clog up the whole cooling system, and my heater core too.
I head a small head gasket leak in my 03 jeep liberty. I used Blue Devil Head Gasket sealer. It work fine for a few thousand miles then i started noticing coolant under my oil filler cap again. A week later my water pump more or less exploded on me. The bearing came completely apart and i lost all my coolant. I'm thinking the Blue Devil gummed up the water pump pretty good.. Now I'll tear it down and replace it the correct way.. Learned my lesson
+MMGJ10 if you need any help with the Tear down check my play list I will show you exactly how step by step good luck
JamieJones TheCarMan Thanks man, i will for sure. Thinking about doing a complete rebuild.. Never done one before but I'll take all the time i need to make sure it's 100% correct.
might sound crazy but how do I check ur playlist? I got a 02 Chrysler Sebring and need to replace head gaskets. I saw this video but I didn't notice repair footage unless I wasn't paying attention. doing the work myself don't trust mechanics cuz they're expensive here in new mexico..... thank u for ur help. krazydude575!
my Jaguar V8 sport needs head gasket and now seeing this has certainly made me make my decision i.e. NO Hocus stuff! Thankyou sir from England.

Just had the bottom of my radiator blow out, had new radiator installed and then found out that it was all due to an air bubble from a blown head gasket. It would cost me over 2k to have it repaired - including having the head machined. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of money. So, I am thinking about using one of these products, because right now I am driving around with my radiator cap barely on, adding water as needed, and praying to God that the pressure doesn't build up again and that my engine doesn't seize up. I can monitor the gauge and pull over if it starts to overheat, but no real way of telling what other damaging is taking place. The gasket may only be 20 bucks, but it's everything else involved that cost a pretty penny. Especially when you have to take it to an auto shop to have it done, and also a machine shop. The product that I was looking at - Blue Devil, requires you to run your engine for an hour after adding it, while maintaining proper temperature. I'm afraid to use it because of this. I'm not convinced that I will be able to run it that long without it overheating. But, since my other option is junking my vehicle, it might be worth the risk.
Barr’s has one it’s like $30 pour it straight in and drive i did it to a truck 4 years ago it’s still good
@@jamiejonesthecarman thank you!
@janedoe-dy3rr and did it work for you?
After getting a quote for replacing a head gasket on a foreign car, you get desperate because it is so expensive. The only cheap fix that ever worked for me was when I had a very old BMW 4 cylinder. On a cold engine, and after lowering the coolant level a quart or so, I backed off all of the head bolts about half a turn or so, then tightened them in the correct order with a torque wrench to factory specs. As I remember, there were a lot of bolts involved, and the instructions were to tighten them up in three passes to slowly and evenly bring the head bolts up to the proper torque.(This was before torque-to-yield head bolts were in common use.) I did this, then added some Stop Leak for good measure and filled it back up with coolant. The engine ran fine for three more months during a really hot Southern summer before it started leaking again. I then sold it “as-is” with full disclosure of the leaking problem and never had to replace the head gasket on my dime.
Ugh... the struggle
Thanks for the video. I'm just starting to learn about cars... through process of elimination... I'd say I'm battling this right now.
Running hot... patched the hole on the radiator hose. Fresh oil... still hot... annnnnd white exhaust...
Bad water pump?
Great advice....good video...only suggestion for future is to turn off radio in background..thank you for the great content.
Thanks for your advice!
so it runs a little hot, that's not the end of the motor. The stat takes care of that. I agree, the stop leak is to get you home, then make the necessary repairs.
good point.
Steve wander, once you put that shit in your engine, all bets are off, how do you think you'll get all of that shit out of there. I won't do that to mine. I'm not a mechanic, but I'll figure out how to replace the gasket. U ain't fuckin my engine up with that shit.
That would be KSeal, I used it and yes it worked...for a few months. I didn't use it to fix a head gasket but yeah... now have a rough idling engine... : / Thanks KSeal...
Some of that stop leak stuff reacts with some types of anti freeze and turns to goo. It also can block up small passages in the intake gaskets that we see in modern engines with aluminum heads. and if you just keep adding water in that engine I see that you are repairing you will get air in the system and it will begin to cavitate. When this happens it will create pitting in the gasket sealing surfaces of the head and/or block deck and worse in some other engines. Cavitation actually removes material from your head or block and makes it difficult to just go in and fix the head gasket. Now youre looking at heads and deck being warped and cavitated and all that goo that needs to be cleaned out of the engine, the heads, the heater core, the water pump, the radiator and all the hoses. This could easily result in having to pay to have the entire engine removed and sent to the machine shop, a new radiator and heater core and water pump installed. These are not yester years cast iron engines that seamed to be bullet proof. These new engine designs are very sensitive to everything. Think about how that copper crap is going to effect your sensors..
My advice is go ahead and do it them come pay me to fix the mess you made. It will probably cost you more than the car is worth to fix the mess you made. Honestly this stuff should come with a warning label that says "WARNING this stuff can cause perminate damage to your engine and your wallet." Some cars it will work on and some it will destroy. Most of the new engines it will destroy. Some of the older cars the engine will seal up but then so does the heater core. Just get it fixed the right way its WAYYYYYYY cheaper. P.S. if your engine uses dexcool and you get air in the system the dexcool will turn to sludge.
Bars is by far the best in the safest out theredon't tell folks a bunch of lies so they have to spend an arm and a leg on another vehicle engine which is about the same cost of putting a gasket in a machine time to make sure that there's nothing warped which can cost over $3000+ dollars
You dumb g
GOOD job on the vidio and explaining things for people..... I AM SUSPECT that a recent visit to a dealership (Toyota) the have ADDED a liquid sealant to do a quick fix on a blown head gskt. within 2500 km... I have gone through almost 5 lts of oil in my 2012 4.0 tacoma. WHEN QUESTIONED (the dealership) what they did.... "we can't remember" But the records shop a list of parts .... (ie head gaskets/other) but were they installed.... I may have a battle to prove that the work was not done IF THIS IS THE CASE... NO LEAKS... the engine has to be burning it... I CAN DO THE WORK.... BUT THIS powertrain is still But this is still under waranty..... I am suspect that they may have ONLY PUT in a sealant ... retouqued heads hoping that this would seall the leak..... I have a dried crystal-like residue on the outside rad fill spout... I will have the coolant tested for what I think is sodium silica.... and other... comparing it to clean/new toyota coolant.... Any feed back will be appreciated Bern
Best video bro ...best advice made me skip alot of videos..thanks
+Junior Espinoza cool
Thank u sir i was gonna use that stuff. Not anymore. Fasho. 77 cutlass supreme. 350 rocket
Thanks sooo much for being so honest!!💯👍😘
Yup...that did help me with my decision. Great job and Thank You! Getting a new head gasket :)
He was a lot of help thanks
Wooooow. We have an old diesel 85' BMW e28 (runs healthy, just dat warm) and had this same kinda coating throughout the outlet port of the coolant path (did not take the head off to see). I thought it was dexcool getting mixed from when parents were driving a long distance many years ago.
Your video may have confirmed my suspicion.
Thank you
Thanks for your honest opinion.
I need a head gasket replacement on my daughters Suzuki Gran Vitara. I have been told it would take 2 days to replace and cost $1500. I was surprised when you said 4 or 5 hours.
A lot of variables with machine shop etc
Now I have successfully used the Barr’s Headgasket sealant at least 20 times for people who wanted to give a shot because they didn’t have money , it’s worked all 20 times it’s about 30 dollars it’s the one you just pour in and don’t do anything but drive the car or let it run for a little bit
But car has to be able to run
At the minimum thats a $300 job just in parts cost (not a $22 gasket) plus labor to do right.
heads check for flat, pressure check for cracks, surface if necessary
head gasket set
head bolts,
thermostat, radiator cap, antifreeze, oil.
also, it's worth doing the timing belt (if applicable) and water pump. because then it will just cost even more money later on.
@@AP-bo1if just bin the car.
Good honest info for all
Tks we try
Thank you for this video.
Thank you very much you be bless
+Uriah Duncan thank you if you need help please feel free to let me know
Preciate you bro Bless
Yea like plugging up your heater core. Use this only in a combat area. Or Alaska out back
for sure can be sticky
candice beebe I believe my heater core is clogged as well
I bought blue devil , I had a friend put it in for me I flushed my whole radiator out ,I'll tell you how things go for me car ! Thank you
+yanna yang so how was the Blue Devil working out
How did the BlueDevil work?
Also I forget to tell you when my car broke down along with the white smoke & there was leaking and I smelled the stuff that was leaking it was brown water , probably mixed with oil,
in that repair where it showed a small imperfection like that a simple retorque on the head bolts may have prevented the whole thing
good idea- should try it first
Title should say " Listen to me winge about gasket repair fluids ".
Ever tried Bear's gasket sealer or Titans head gasket sealer they claims polymer based .Anyone know the ingredients in all of these products .Also Thermagasket head sealer
Thanks for showing this
+larryjbyers No problem at all. Hope it helps and buys you a little time with your car.
+larryjbyers you need any help let me know
thanks
I am doing a headgasket on the same motor but I dont know if any of that stuff was put in there but it has some super bad stuff but some places have like hard water but I guess i am going to try and get a hose on a vacuum and see if I can pick it up because it is in the bottom passenges of the block but i replaced the thermostat recently because it was overheating and the coolant did not look bad but the water was not moving thru the block
Update
What car is this with 3 cylinders 🤔
ho much dos a head gasket cost to repar a Grand Voyager 1996 Sports addition stuck in Granite pass trying to get to California please help
no i doesn't run hot either there is no heat and stand the coolant is going some where fairly fast
+kyle Warner Hey Kyle, the fluid only has 4 places that it can go. 1.) The ground, 2.) IF there is air in your system, it could be causing the vehicle to boil out fluid while you're driving down the road through your expansion tank, 3.) Losing it through your exhaust ie: a crack in the head gasket or 4.) Head gasket as well, could have failed and allowed coolant into your oil. You can check this very easily by checking your oil. Your fluid would either show up way above the max fill on the dipstick or the oil would have a milky looking appearance to it.
Tyvm
How much would a technician charge to replace the head gasket?
JamieJones I see ur a big time Miami Dolphins fan!! Lets go Fins!!:D
i changed the spark plugs the spark plug wires the ignition coils the intake manifold and the car is still shaking so i went to a mechanic and he did a leak down test and a compression test. then he said two of the cylinders have low compression and that's what's causing the car to shake, so he said i have to do a head job. i did a head job already on this car back in 2014 and it's 2021 so 7 years and i have to do another one
How do stop-leak products work? When installed in a cooling system, the stop leak product rushes through the cooling system under pressure to the site of the leak. When it exits the point of the leak, it builds up on itself, thus sealing up the leak. The problem? It only seals for a short time until either another leak springs or the existing leak gets larger. This is true for either an internal leak like a head gasket or an external leak in a radiator.
With a head gasket leak, either the gasket material has degraded or the metal is cracked or warped, resulting in a leak. In the case of a radiator leak, more often than not another leak will spring somewhere in the core in short order because wear and degradation is relative to the age of the unit. If you’re getting leaks, in the final analysis the engine has lost its sealing ability internally or externally. Mating and sealing surfaces or component integrity must be restored to stop the coolant leak.
In extreme cases the overuse of radiator stop leak can clog up the heater core and even stop the heater from working. It can also stop an entire bank of water jackets, resulting in a constant state of overheating. To solve this problem, the expansion plugs have to be removed from the entire engine block and the block has to be power-flushed in order to clean out the stop leak product. This stuff harms more cars than it fixes, period.
Thankyou for the great advice on these products. Head gasket reapers..
We have a problem also. Could you please help me determine what it is? We don't have heat and a large amount of antifreeze is dripping onto the water pump from the engine. The exhaust is fine, but we done have full power. (1997 Ford Explorer 4.0l Ohv engine)
+Matthew Mcpeck you may have a bad gasket or hose that doesn't leak unless under pressure , no heat means there's air in the cooling system , now have a compression test done to verify you dont have bad head gasket
That and the surface rust that builds up in a week or two
very sensible. Thanks!
The way some of this stuff is supposed to work, the stuff is supposed to bond and harden with heat where it is the hottest, such as next to a head gasket leak, and whatever else is there that didn't bond to anything, could likely be cleaned out a bit by back flushing with a garden hose, hopefully. But I guess that's just one man's theory here.
That's what I thought...leave it in for a few weeks, then flush the cooling system.
Hey, may I suggest you to turn off the background radio when you speak into the microphone.
LOL this video is really old and back then I just didn’t understand how to do a video thank you for bearing the pain of watching this LOL
@@jamiejonesthecarman The video is fine
By the way this is very informative when it comes to those easy head gasket fix, people believe is a miracle but it's actually worst .
Based on the style of Windows you have in the background your recording live from either Florida or Puerto Rico.
Most of these fixs in a bottle will take out 10% of the radiator core..sometimes,more than 10%..
On a 2000 toyota tacoma 2.4 How do you put your cam shaft and head gasket back together when the timeing chain isnt marked
FWIW...a head gasket replacement estimate actually runs around $1000-2000 from a repair shop. I have been told it's around 8-10 hours of labor. You state it's 5 hours of labor...which would mean an estimate for parts + labor should only be around $500 tops.
Yet this job at a mechanics shop actually costs the car owner 2-3x that amount. (?)
That is because most mechanics will try to rip you off of your hard earned money. Sad but true. Many times i took my car to different garages and my conclusion is .. it's hard to find a good machanic that you can trust . Some times they will do a poor job on the car and sometimes they don't fix it but still charge you money
@@miguelalves7333yup that’s what happen to me I took my car away from the shop asap
awesome video
Thanks for the info man.....how much did it cost them for the labor? My coolant is leaking with no signs of visible leaks, not coming out of overflow, I 'm starting to think it's my head gasket.....No coolant in engine oil, but it looks like it's coming out of the exhaust pipes. Thanks
+Clint Luna Hi Clint, the labor usually runs about $500 to $700 on average. Definitely sounds like it could be a head gasket with a small leak if you're seeing that out of your exhaust but no visible leaks.
can't this happen if its foggy outside?
Clint Luna intake manifold possibly
@@daby8399 I'm going through the OP situation right now. I have an 06 4runner sport. I'm praying its anything but the head gasket
thank you well said
If it crappy car thats got one foot in the junk yard it might buy you enough time to save for an upgrade 🤔
use gasket maker and the head gasket itself to ensure a total seal
no never use a gasket sealant on head gasket, just machine head, clean surface , oem headgasket and proper torque and correct order will work perfect every time
If the car was bought for $900 and it ran fine then a few months later the headgasket blows then it's ok to use whatever magic in the bottle that's out there. Shelling out $1000+ for a head gasket replacement that's worth more than the entire car is ridiculous.
not if its a pristine low mileage example
you can buy 300$ blown hg Hondas and diy fix for about 30$ lmao then flip for 1000-2000$
+Leon Springs Boys TV It is impossible to fix for $30. A gasket set , new headbolts, machine shop work + fluids would run at least $200!
Phil Flood I exaggerated slightly lol
Only croo-ks sell vehicles with head gaskets that were sealed with that additive, without telling the buyer. The sealer does not last. Not letting the buyer know is unethical.
A friend of mine spent almost a 1000 bucks and still ended up buying a new car!
+Elvis Dave that sucks
thats because there seems to be a innate desire to overcharge people by mechanics ... to me there is rampant dishonesty here spit
digitalimigrant you are right I just payed $450 in labor for a transmission coolant job
1999 Chevy Tahoe 5.7L V8 350 been running fine, complete new radiator system a year ago. One day the engine lost power going down the interstate and the whole vehicle started shaking badly when I tried to accelerate. Had to be towed home. Codes showing multiple misfires. I did a tune up with new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, pcv valve, and was still having the same problem, and losing a ton of coolant, but no leaks anywhere. I have a hole in one muffler and am leaking fluid from the pipe of that one muffler, the other is fine. The radiator doesn't have any white bubbles, but I took off my oil cap and it has the coolant gunk under it, and you can see it well when shining a light down the oil filler tube on the sidewalls. Not sure what to do at this point. It's only worth around $1500 maybe, and I've already sunk over $8k into it over the past 3 years. I may have to sell as is to the highest bidding backyard bubba.

Great video grade! I can see everything clearly! Nice camera!
I don't trust Bars Leak . But what about Bears or Steel head gasket sealer ? I just bought a bout 3 weeks ago a 1997 Chevy Lumina LS . It has some issues ,but one of them maybe a head gasket leak or a valve cover gasket leak , anyway #1 cylinder is mis- firing and I know it possibly needs a tune-up and timing ? I don't know much about cars , this is my 4 th car in my life time . And I'm on a "Fixed " income .
Dang same here and i have a 2000 mc
good video, thanks! but i would def change the title of your video, it is kind of click-baitish now. something like "definitely don't use this to fix your head gasket!" or something like that would be more appropriate.

I used the Bar's Leaks Blown Head Gasket Repair on my 1992 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8L back in May (2016) and it worked great. I had leak on the vacuum side so oil and coolant were not mixing at the time I caught the problem. The product worked, however, the next month I broke my ankle in 3 places and had surgery and couldn't drive for 2 1/2 months. After I could start driving again, my water pump started pouring antifreeze out of the weep hole and I had to replace the water pump. When I took the old water pump off I noticed a white film of particles covering the water pump internal components as well as all of the hoses. I had to replace the water pump, hoses, thermostat, as well as flush the system multiple times because the Bar's Leaks ruined everything pretty much. Maybe my water pump went out because the car sat for 2 1/2 months not being driven, although every week I would start the car and let it run for 15 or 20 minutes. The head gasket is still repaired though, 6 months later.
What about blue devil
lol, crossing the road may, or may not, be dangerous. I was really hoping this video would give something extra to hte idea of fixing these things, but unfortunatly it's yet another - "It may work, but it may not, so be careful" lol. I'm really not sure why the Internet is covered with videos of people suggesting you do or dont try new ideas.
It should be entitled "Possible problems when using head gasket liquid sealant". The copper liquid shown that can be wiped away hasn't reached temperature yet that has melted its particles - this temperature is only at the point of combustion/gasket edge, and any extra liquid copper will just flow around the water channels because it will never reach anything like the temp needed to solidify it. If liquid copper can reach that solidifying temp anywhere else in your engine, then your engines defied the laws of physics, or you're driving too close to the sun 8-)
It's a good clear video though, and does give some intersting points on using this stuff - I have a guinea pig car here and will be trying a version of this on a consistant leak :-) This should be fun, but for £10 i've gotta test this stuff !
+Phil Smith hi i work on engines every day and through the years , i have ran across it alot you can cure a head gasket leak on just about anything it really comes down to how bad it is , lets say the car runs fine but has a small leak . Cant see white smoke but you can smell coolant then this fix should work , if you have white smoke pouring out the exhaust then bypass the radiator and pull thermastat and you straight liquid glass , may take one or 2 application , if you have oil and coolant mixing use the blue devil , and drain the oil the minute your done ,
thanks for sharing your thoughts on this vid you prepped.
I have a cracked cylinder liner from detonation under high boost, have to wait for another block to get built. It's a tough decision but I need to drive it to work, so I may be using the Prestone stuff in the tall clear container soon
2slofouru
I dont think will seal it , but very interested in how it turns out
2slofouru how did it hold up.....i have a 300zx tt small head gasket leak as well
Also I was thinking about buying this product called "K Seal" a couple of people told me it helped their cars with their head gasket problem I think I just blown mine like mines should be a mini problem right ?
Good Morning, is there water mixing in with your oil and I'm assuming that your car is also overheating? K&W Head Gasket with Fiber lock is excellent and I actually put a video up on it a few days ago.
how do I take the valves off of a 2008 Kia too 1.6l ???
one key factor here. yes headgaskets are usually cheap for the gaskets themselves. BUUUUTTTTTT. people when they do break down and buy/replace them, they often dont resurface the heads or have the valve seals replaced or do a valve lap. so on an engine with 75k+ thats like doing a timing belt and only replacing the belt without doing the waterpump and the pulley/ tensioner set. so now your back together and a month later your waterpump starts puking or a pulley starts screamin or the tensioner fails. now because you went cheap and replaced just the part that was bad and not all interfacing components with the same amount of wear you now get to start back at square 1. same idea just slapping a new gasket on with heads that should have had a valve lap, seals replaced, and resurfacing done. now in the same year of doing it you can still end up drinking oil through valve seals when they fail, or the issues without doing a valve job- losing comp/misfiring/lean conditions through uneven/unsealing valve seats. not to mention the head gasket inevitably failing since it was pressed down with a warped head.
do the whole job in entirety or dont waste the time and money. you wouldnt replace only brake pads and not turn the rotors, that is unless you want to burn through your pads in 6 months. jus sayin. theres 1 right way and many wrong ways.
got some quick questions ; could a symptom of a blown head gasket be :
-the heater will not blow warm air ?
-cant identify where the coolant is leaking from but the vehicle is drinking mass quantity of coolant
plz help.. thanks.
+kyle Warner no heat and the heater core generally means that there's air in the system and if you're losing a mass quantity of coolant you're more than likely losing it through the exhaust do you smell the smell of antifreeze at your exhaust
+JamieJones TheCarMan woah! my car heater didn't work either! Does that mean something to do with the blown head gasket too? I had the white smoke and the bubbles in the radiator. Trying now to figure out what to do... don't want to drive it (Toyota Rav4 2001)
+Freida Harris ok I have a video on K&W fiberlock check it out , it s for blown head gasket works great , that best thing is to replace the gasket but if you dont have the time or money it will work, also get the one you you can just pour in without cleaning it first
+JamieJones TheCarMan thanks! I will check it out. The heater didn't work the other day but it did start working again. How is that connected to the radiator? I thought I had a good understanding of cars (older for sure) but never connected the heater to the radiator water level
@@jamiejonesthecarman most likely thermostat stuck closed you'd have no heat why not check the easier cheaper routes first

hey boss I'm doing the head gaskets on a v6 4.3 its a 2007 can you tell me the Ft. lbs and sequence?
Anyone changed the heads on a Lexus RX330 or a Toyota of the same configuration. Compression is down on one cylinder. Need to re-seat the valves and change oil seals etc in heads, also change timing chain and water pump in same operation. Can anyone help. I've asked two mechanics to give me a price but neither have come back to me, probably to hard.
Hi David, are you specifically trying to figure out why you have low compression or are you trying to find someone to do the job?
I was trying to work out if it was wort doing the motor up by just doing the heads. If just doing the heads can they be taken off from the top. They are are great car but almost impossible to work on without spending big dollars.
I can to the conclusion to sell it with the need for a replacement engine and sold it and was paid in 24 hours. I went out and bought a IS250 with 26,000kms and love it. Now I've got a car that can be working on more easily if necessary.
Thanks for responding Jamie but decided to pass it on to someone who has the time and energy to perhaps do it themselves.
JamieJones TheCarMan Whats up jj? I plan on buying my cousins 2000 Cadillac deville but he said its was overheating a few days ago. You think its wise or even logical to buy that car? I have the money to fix it but i dont wanna fix on it constantly.
would silicone gasket maker ever work instead of the head gasket because I can't find a head gasket for Peugeot 306 XT 1.8 from 1997

I got a 93 lincoln town car, blew head gaskets. bought some head gasket sealer, put it in car it I drove it about an hour later, it died in traffic. now it will not start anymore, what caused this?
Jermaine Williams did you get it fixed? or bought a new car?
GM technician and believe it or not the stop leak crap was placed in that engine from a RECALL on those engine :) some smart guy from GM legal department dreamed up a soltion to all those lower intake gasket issues they had with those engines. Some rocket scientist figured if they can get all the cars to come in for a bullshit recall lets say where it says the throttle body has an improper torgue vale and the bolts need to be replaced on the throttle body ? I shit you not that's the recall. What it does not tell you is after replacing the bolts GM wanted you as the technician to add a bottle of bars leak to the cooling system to prevent the throttle body from leaking .. (isn't needed) it is all smoke and mirrors to get the cars in to add bars leak to the system without the customer knowing it. This solved all the lower intake leaks. A lot of us technicians refused to add that crap to a perfectly fine running auto because it clogs shit .
I was afraid of that. I wonder what the water pump looks like?
I had car back to 90's I put stop leak in it guess what? Happens this, blow out engine..

You say 22 bucks for a head gasket, now add at least another 100 on to that and then depending on where you go it could be as high as 130 bucks an hour to do the work. If you get out of any shop under a 1000 bucks I would be amazed. So basically do I want to trust a guy I don't know or try some stop-leak. I do my own work but there are to many people that just don't know, AND, there are far to many shysters out there.
You dumb huh
where the cooling fan relay on a 2001 nissian xterra
Idk off top of my head just google it
Did you repair this car and get all the junk out
4 or 5 hours ?? On a head replace ? Is this a lawn mower? Simply put , cars that are valued at under 2k should only be using sealer additives... I've never seen a head replacement repair for less than $1200 and just like playing Russian roulette with sealers you also can have further damage when pulling apart the heads and finding out the block is cracked also ( another thing that sodium silicate can fix ) . I hate when some car shops sell a customer a head job on a car worth $800. Why not try a $50 fix and us it or toss it ?? Enjoyed the video and thank you.
sorry got your comment mixed up with another, so most cars we can swap heads in less than 6 hours , unless its something crazy like the aluminum blocks that tend to have head bolts strip,, but i totally agree that it just don't make sense to spend more money to a shop than the cars worth, not to mention they are going to bleed you dry for every penny they can get you for . lol you just brought up the old school liquid glass , i have never seen it not work although sometimes it takes 2 trys , also you have to bypass the rad and heater core . that stuff is only 20 bucks , now if you got a weekend off and do the work yourself mayby cost 100 plus the machine shop, tks for the reply
ah
Either of $2000 a head gasket replacement or $2000 engine replacement. your choice
Or $100 and do it yourself.
