Replacing the Head Gasket

skunk · 10-25-2005, 09:34 AM

I know its good to deck the block ,but depending on how bad the head gasket blow was and how hot the engine got it might not be warped if your head is only warped like 6 thousandths the block might be ok I didnt deck my block, I used a copper head gasket and arps, it seated nice

RA = unit of measurement of how smooth something is, if I recall correctly

If a bhg is inevitable, what can you do to prevent it if you are still running stock with lots-o-miles? I assume an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I have an 87 NA, 127k miles. About to become my everyday ride due to unplanned medical bills

If I wanted to drive like old people I would buy a Buick and a hat to go with it.
