head gaskets are a common problem

 

i think there was a recall somthing to look into. my moms 94 blew and the dealer replaced it for free.

im pretty sure it was 2nd, if u know ur way around an engine and have the tools u should be able to replace it urself

 

ill try the head gasket theory first. ill update u guys when i know more. goin wheelin on the 5th at tuttle creek kansas, i will pull the top end of when i get back.<IMG src=smileys/smiley34.gif border="0">

 

well guys tuttle creek was wicked. good news , i didnt break anything.bad news is i finally pulled the top end off and it needs a motor. i am looking for a 3vze or i will rebuild it. let me know if anybody has a used one.
