kershaw-330s Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Don't want to sound negative, But if your head gaskets gone it's basically a full engine build to fix it correctly , so your looking at thousands Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keewrx Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Really why ? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Its not that much.are you doing them yourself.most the cost will come from garage labour and having heads skimed if they need it. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Need to do both heads for start and the big end bearings will have probably suffered. So no point spending 1.5k on a head strip down & rebuild for the engine to have to be pulled in a few months to do the bottom end and replace all the bits you've already replaced Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just pressurising the water hoses a bit with no adverse effects in running and only using a little bit of water, or is it fully knackered, blowing out coolant/mixing coolant with oil, smoking, rough running etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
