elmerfudpucker Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Getting rather concerned with my mechanic, he has been very busy lately and I have reason to believe my rebuilt motor with 8K on it has a blown head gasket. :angry: He said my lower radiator hose had a leak and it over heated. <_< I would think a leaky hose would be rather hard to miss. But anyway, I am looking for one or more of you Ratsuners would want to knock it out if I decide to give someone else a shot at my business. If you have a PC that could use a wipe and reload and upgrades, or want some electronics gear like car audio/ security/ gadgets/ LED’s or something else I could help out with. Or if a bunch of you want to come in and I will fire up the grill and serve up some scrapper steaks and ice cold beer, let me know. But I need to get this fixed, the pathfinder is one thirsty SOB and I want my 720 back! :crying: Ask Pumpkin what happens when I get ahold of a PC! :ninja: Quote Link to comment

jbirds510 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 ive done probably 15 of those..you can do it!get out your repair manual and just do it.its not that bad.you need a timing shim(make from wood)super easy.I believe 10mm allen socket for the head bolts a scraper and a razor blade to remove any remnants of the old gasket on the deck.A straight edge to check the head for true.a set of sockets with extention for the the intake/exhaust bolts, a gallon of coolant and about 3 hours. YOU CAN DOOOOOO IT! :D Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 is it showing the typical signs of a blown headgasket or whats it doing exactly? I missed that thread? Quote Link to comment
elmerfudpucker Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Blowing water smoke out of the exhaust. I just want to have another option if the "warranty" doesnt hold. I paid more than enough to get it done and I dont intend on paying any more than I have to. I will do it myself if I have to but mechanic work isnt one of my better talents. Quote Link to comment
