Rolla__Boy Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 That thing is pretty messy...Last time we did a head gasket we just went nuts with a wire brush to clean everything up...and then chucked it back together....it held up ok with 10psi :yes: Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Take note of water Galleries pointed out in red they look to be getting close to where the head gasket is sealing. Quote

KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Anyone say corrosion inhibitor? .......................................................ouch! cheers phatke30! Did you know That if corrosion inhibitor is mixed to weak it will cause more corrosion than using just water. Quote

KE55PIG Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 well did some one no were to get me a really cheap head lol ??????????? i need one i reckon Quote
seabiscuit Posted April 29, 2009 Report Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Call ANY wrecker and ask if they have any 4k motors and if the head is in usable condition! Keep calling until you find one that has one and then ask for a price on it. You may be able to take the head off yourself and save yourself a few dosh if you say you're able to. Especially since it should be simple as you have previous experience in taking a 4k head off. Heads/motors come up in the "For Sale" section all the time. So you could just look out for one there. Good Luck ps. Redwarf's advice is actually REALLY good! So if he suggests to buy a manual, it's probably a really good idea. You'll end up saving a shitload of time and maybe even some cash since you have a "HOW TO" in front of you. Edited April 29, 2009 by seabiscuit Quote
