SPAM: Re: [Shotimes] bad headgasket

[ianf@eden.rutgers.edu]

I am convinced that the same team that built your 95 also built Ron 
Porter's 95. :)

I think my 93 atx parts car had a HG failure. (I "think" that I ran an 
OASIS on it and found that out) When I took the motor apart, some of 
the head bolts were barely finger tight. Now that I think about it, 
those heads are def going in the trash once I practice some gasket 
matching on the intake ports and strip them of their brackets, buckets, 
springs, etc.

> I had a head gasket leak that was causing coolant to come into one 
cylinder head and create a hard start condition. Took it to the dealer 
(thank GOD it was under warranty at the time), they removed the head, 
had it pressure tested and checked the block for warps, found nothing 
wrong with any metal, replaced the gasket and I was fine after. The car 
had a failed t/stat 4 years ago but the temp never went up to dangerous 
levels because I shut it down fast.
