Heads came off today, alot of buildup in the water galleys/jackets. Heads went the the machine shop, to get pressure tested and resurfaced, along with valve jobs and all the fun goodies, hopefully my truck will be back to running next weekened, and pics to come!

 

Update**

The time has come and the problem has been revealed!

The dumbass mechanic/PO decided to not check the headgaskets before putting them on and my little yota, well.. suffered from those cheap inverted/turned around upside down headgaskets that were going around.. and the HG was blocking a galley, and he put stopleak, which didn't help. so, anyone with this problem can use this to go off of

But I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. But I know they're out there, if you didn't do your headgaskets, and didn't know what the hell the PO put on, might be a good idea to point you in that direction. Not a cheap or easy fix, but atleast we found the problem, and its gonna be done. Truck comes back early next week, looking forward to driving her again!

Screw whatever company was selling funny gaskets, knowing they were cut wrong.. x.X

 

**to clarify any questions or the intelligence of the PO and hos 'nechanic' they also used two (yes i said teo!) Of the same headgaskets, but different companies. One was a fel pro head gasket intended for the right head* and the second was a no name headgasket intended for installation on the right head* now correct me if im wrong but you cannot use two right head gaskets, and expecially ones that block water galleys/jackets >.< *facepalm* retarted lol

 

As of 2008, the politically correct term for that is "Presidential Directive".
It is now known as Executive Priveledge, since the "Fast and Furious" scandal broke.

 

Might wanna edit the tail end of that, there vanduzer...I care not, but it may not fit in all the rules completely ...heads up.

 

Thanks didnt even think about that sorry bout that

 

Did you ever find out exactly where? Just pulled off my oil cooler and coolant tubes are completely plugged with crap. Anyone know if it can be cleaned and tested? Found nothing on google. thx for help

 

old ass thread, but connect a hose with hot water at where the heater hose attaches to the thermostat housing. stop halfwaythrough and use detergent, and then continue the flush. the radiator flushes separatey.
