January 26, 200521 yr Total Time - four days, mostly on... Completed Mission - Head Gasket Set + Oil Pan Gasket + Oil Pump Reseal Cuts - five good ones on my hands, one on my right side Cost - With tools, about $400 Left Over Bolts - One, yah! Knowledge Learned - Priceless? No, about $400 and a girlfriend who thinks I don't want to listen about her day as I am sitting on a EA82 trying to loosen a head bolt. She's done! Sounds like crap but will get me to work and school untill I get a chance to fine tune on Friday. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me out (I was 180 deg off- damn). Usmb your getting $10 next pay check, I think it's about time. Well I having a beer and a cigar, although I think everyone deserves (though who helped anyway:-p ) the same reward, but shipping isn't free.
January 26, 200521 yr Good deal. Another success story. And I was starting to think we would be held responsible for a $400 disaster :-p Too bad you can't paypal beer and cigars.
January 26, 200521 yr Knowledge Learned - Priceless? No, about $400 and a girlfriend who thinks I don't want to listen about her day as I am sitting on a EA82 trying to loosen a head bolt. It was the same for me, but we sit on the engine together with my wife Congrats on your success!!
January 26, 200521 yr Congrats - I'm jealous. Mine is still sitting in the driveway waiting for my bro-in-law to bring over his portable air compressor & cutting tools so I can get my damn broken intake manifold bolt out (it's a long story). Hope she tunes up good for you:drunk:
January 27, 200521 yr Author sawzals (wrong spelling) can be picked up at a pawn shop for under $50 and that should cut the head of the bolt if you're careful. You might want to think about it, I know I use mine every other project
