first that it was steam, so I did the head gasket... on the test
drive, still smoking when it warmed up and I revised my best case
scenario down to - oil
its a 94 with less than a 100k on the clock. I took a big bite out of
the bullet and ripped the head again (took me less than an hour this
time) and fitted new stem seals... that took considerably longer,
though I reckon after about 6 you get the knack...
I've been waiting for a new head gasket to arrive at repco, last time I
got it from John Andrew at a cost of over 300 dollars, thank you very
much, I was in a hurry! never again, I'd rather wait a week and pay a
third of that!
I pick up the head gasket and fit tomorrow. What do you think, am I
hoping in vain? I've done compression tests, and all cylinders in dry
cold/dry wet are round about 180
It can't be a ring can it???cheers
