  1. Blew the head gasket. Midway through filling the new radiator walked towards the rear end and bingo bango coolent trickling out the tail pipe. Mother fuzzy. Any way to replace them without having to pull the engine?
  2. I was thinking the same thing winginit. And of coarse junk yard over aftermarket any day. For most stuff at least. When I popped the hood the initial stop my engine didn't feel hotter than usual. Thanks guys, I'm heading out to do it now I'll let you know.
  3. And I'll check on fluid and or oil on the block. Are the gaskets hard to do it yourself? I'm used to working on my diesel. I'm no ase certified mechanic but I'm inclined somewhat on engines. Would you recommend taking it in if it doesn't start?
  4. The head gasket was replaced at 115K it just turned 149K. The overflow was empty when it first died but was full prior to the drive. It sounded terrible after I started it when the problem accused, but once I started driving it ran fine for five min or less to Napa. No white smoke nothing. The starting situation sounds like, lack of pressure almost
  5. I was driving on the freeway and when I got to my exit as I slowed to the yield sign my car died. I noticed my temp gauge almost to the H. I popped my hood to see a crack (8"or so) on the plastic/pvc part that sits on top. I waited for it to cool, filled it and drove it to Napa. Napa was less than five min.away. after my time at Napa, my car had cooled. I put a temp. sealant on so I could make it home. The car didn't start. It almost starts with the first turn over but just won't do it. Any ideas? I'm not a take it to a mechanic type of guy, unless I absolutely have to. Would the water pump possibly cause this?
