That's hot!

I did a rush job like that on a 2.2 chrysler motor in a minivan. Didn't even remove the timing belt. Removed head bolts, slid old gasket out, slid new one in.
That fucking pirate I used to work for. I argued with him about it until he told me to do it that way or I was out of a job.

Daaayum. Make sure we don't go to that shop?

How's that M10 holding up? Sounds like you just had a low coolant problem. I get the same dealie sometimes, got a minor leak somewhere that's sipping about a quart every oil change.

That shop would be Caldwells in Springfield, Or

My 84 has been doing that for years. Still runs strong though. Tough lil motors.

I swapped the head and gasket a few weeks back and found that the block is cracked... it's running and barely get's over 1/2 in traffic now but it does smoke a little bit on acceleration in 1st and sometimes between shifts. It does rev just fine to redline and makes power all the way to redline especially after putting all new gaskets and injectors, but it's still a POS.

I had that before, ended up my rad was plugged almost 3/4 across the core with fuzz and road trash between the condenser and rad.
