Bad luck it happened just before the weekend though. It gives you time to work on it but not time to get the head sent to get tested. |

how do you know it's the headgasket ? where is it leaking ? is the oil mixing with water. Make sure you find out 100 % what is wrong with it before you tackle it.

is the $1200 for an EL motor at Just Falcons ? Good luck with it Luke hopefully it goes better with the new motor. Are they using all your accesories ? like 3 belt setup and EB manifold ?
