Hey man,

Watcha doing this weekend anytime Fri-Monday? I could use some help probably. Maybe pull the head on my truck.

Do you know anybody with and engine hoist who might let me borrow it. sqrll$$ has one, but doesn't want it back and it doesn't fold up.

Adam3291 · 03-26-2008, 11:32 AM

I'm free Thursday, Friday and Saturday for most of the morning. I do have an engine hoist I can let you borrow.

UnrulyNFS · 03-26-2008, 07:27 PM

I'll be checking measurements, lash, and pushrods early on Friday if you wanna meet up for breakfast. Should know after a couple of hours if the head will have to come off. Then I definately could use that engine hoist on Saturday.

Let me know if I can buy you breakfast at Randy's Friday morning.

What the heck are you doing to your poor truck?

74dart · 03-27-2008, 02:44 PM

I abused it and now it seems to be pouting.

I'll be at MATR, but the Big Rig might not be.

Adam3291 · 03-27-2008, 09:31 PM

I'll wait until the morning then.

Adam3291 · 03-28-2008, 08:00 PM

Since Keegan is busy with honey do stuff right now probably I'll post the update for everyone, I'm sure they will be followed by pictures. We both accomplished to pull the head on his truck this afternoon. The MLS gasket was fried between #3 and #4. There is VERY light damage to #4 on the outer edge but shouldn't affect it in any way. Ohh and Keegan, if your missing a 13mm GearWrench I got it

John, everthing else appeared fine, cylinders walls looked excellent. So when I saw the head gasket I thought about to the August issue of Diesel Power where Scott Zaffram killed his headgaset in the same fashion Keegan's kicked the bucket. I keep trying to talk him into o-ringing while the head is off

Thanks for your reply Adam! Glad to hear everything else looked good to you guys!

Yes, I agree, the o-rings or firerings are the way to go IMHO. Especially since Keegan is getting more involved in the drag racing and sled pulling. Water injection might not be a bad idea either!
