Doing head gaskets

[Jeffvette]

Is there anything anybody would like to see on the tear down/rebuild on a 94?

[Jagdpanzer]

Jeff,
I sure would

[Scrrem]

Me too.....

Sounds like a cool idea. Just make sure you have head gaskets though Jeff, GM recently discontinued them.

I would

:redface: I assume that in "theory" one could do head gaskets with the motor in place, but you will pull it to make life less complicated?


Thanks Jeff for the free classes!:thumbsup:

I think pulling it is he only way since you need to remove and set-up the cams

[tomtom72]

Jeff, I'm thinking that GM would say that when you unbolt the cam gears the chains come away also? Maybe r&r'ing the tensioners enables the chains to come off of the cam gears?:dontknow:

Looking at all the stuff in between the front of the motor and the radiator that would be in the way of timing the cams(?), it would seem pulling the motor is a wiser move. I would be the one who would be wasting time removing the radiator(?), fans, and everything bolted to the front of the motor with it still in place! Of course then I'd have yet to pull the cam covers ( and all that work! ), so I could get to pull the heads, so I could get to the head gaskets!:eek:

I'd like to see everything about a rebuild Jeff. Thanks

Engine comes out, it needs a few other gaskets replaced to completely seal it up. It's an older 368 conversion.

I'll start a new thread when the motor is out.

This engine the one that needed a new harmonic balancer?
Gonna need lots and lots of pics.
Especially the cam timing process.

That would be marvelous Jeff. Take plenty of picture and video documentation. It would be priceless.

Nope, it's the "Yellow Peril".

Thanks Jeff, I'll be watching too.
If memory serves me correctly, I remember this J&S car from Bowling Green roughly 10 years ago. I think in the rush to finish the car the knock sensors were left unhooked and it might have had a head gasket problem at that time, (lots of smoke at Beech Bend) then again I may have it confused with another car.

Oh it has been done more than once without pulling the motor out.

I wouldnt want to do it way more back pain than I like to deal with!
