Head gaskets, here we come!!!!!
Time to do head gaskets on my 91!!! DAMN!!! It only has 70K miles on it!!!
Any way, I was going to do the valve cover gaskets, as they are leaking oil. So Friday night, I go to start taking stuff apart. I get the driver side cover off and I see a green puddle down inside the lifter valley, pooled up right next to a lifter. And I can see a little seeping from where the head bolts to the block. It may actually be coming from the intake gasket, but I decided that I'm gonna go ahead and do the HGs while I'm in there. So far I've got the blower and IC off, as well as both valve covers, fuel rail, adn all that crap that gets in the way (hoses, wires, etc). I'm about to the point where I can pull the heads off. Not as hard as I thought, just a lot of crap in the way. I've been through this before on a N/A 3.8, so alot of it below the blower is very similar, so the procedure is familiar to me. I guess that it's good that I caught it now before it got worse, though.
I guess that's what I get for passing gas in my car, right Mike!!
