What's a 4.5 apj head gasket like to do?

[danmurr]

Got a blown gasket , I'm a mechanic anyway so I'm not worried at all. But has any one got any
Advice or knowledge or potential problems before I start ?

[danmurr]

Really? Whys that , looks like plenty of room ?

Hi Dave ,

I decided to keep it in the end , sadly the head gasket went on Monday , it still runs and drives but it's very steamy on bank 1

Someone went down the side of it which with the hire car costs was enough to write it off .
But never bothered me it an old car now anyway ands probably been repaired over the years anyway , so I'm just going to repair the engine and keep it coz it's mint.

Cool ok, can I leave the box attached ?

[danmurr]

That sucks! So when they build them they don't just drop the engine and transmission in together?

Bloody hell how can they f up a car that simple!

Oh well, will gimme something to do then

[danmurr]

Nice one ! I'll pull it out like that !!!

[danmurr]

All fixed! Took the engine out and replaced headgaskets and all the old water pipes !
I haven't worked an a car that technicaly basic since I was 18! Maybe I should sell my mercedes garage and
Start fixing tvrs and bicycles

Bummer it still smokes a little , however not over heating or any other signs of headgasket leaks as before. Time to eBay it as spares my seventh and last tvr
