[expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] .. Blew the head gasket yesterday eve, had to get towed 30 miles and navigate passed a road block
Mind you I did give a scooby driver somthing to think about before it blew Don't think he quite realised a big luxury car could shift so much.
And thanks to some bushes from ELK, it went round coners pretty well!
While it's off the road ('96 CSE 2.3 FPT) im going to get the head flowed, But going to strip it my self.
Question : Ive not done one of these engines b4 - any thing I should look out for ? ie should I get the head skimmed as well, and what other parts should I replace?
And does any one know if I can get hold of a higher performance head gasket in the UK? I Know Sweedish Dynamics do one but i'd prefer to get it from the UK.
Any advise gratefully recieved.
