Head gasket dead... (1 Viewer)

[OffRoadScott]

Was getting a rough idle last night on the way home. Pulled the plugs and the front cylinder was full of water.

Prior to pulling the plugs, it started right up without issues. I am currently looking to getting it fixed but might consider selling for the right price too.

Awh man that blows

Have you thought about replacing it yourself? HG on inline motors aren't too bad.

Yeah, I just do not have a lot of time and means to get to and from work. It was my DD.

 

[yotadude520]

Have you gotten any quotes on getting the head gasket replaced? Maybe another cruiserhead could lend a hand too! If I was in Mesa I would help for sure.

 

[OffRoadScott]

First place I called quoted me 2300+\- depending on a condition of a few things.

What are the details on the truck? If you are looking to sell, I have been looking for a nice 80 with engine issues to swap a 2uz into.

Still up in the air. But looks like I won’t be selling. The president of the company I work for came to me and said, “l know you won’t ask so I am offering to help.” Yes I am a big prideful guy and I cried. I hate asking for help even from family.

No worries, if you fix it you wont have to worry about the head gasket again for a long time!

Spoke to Robert at CBT. He quoted me an amazing price, to were I had to call back to verify that is what he told me.

 

[Jgunner]

Get it sorted so we can go wheel!

CBT did mine, very reasonable and relatively quick.

I just need to figure out how to get it towed there. I will check with my insurance company and see if my roadside assistance will tow it all the way there.

Yeah and for the extra things they do at such little cost, I really can't complain.

 

[Jgunner]

I hope mine doesn’t go and was replace by po(doubt it) but i hope it holds out at least until my ls gets rebuilt.

I have used towing services from craigslist without issues. $40-$50 for a flatbed tow truck is pretty much the going rate valleywide.

So you are saying 40-50 to get to CBT?

Scott, yep Murf at CBT took care of mine too. It’s already seen another 100k since and still going strong.

That has been my experience. Several even advertise their price in the add. Call, give them the pick up and drop address and they will tell you how much. I have always been within their mileage included distances.

That is good to know.

I will call around tomorrow and get some quotes on towing.
