so i had the headgaskets done about a year and a half ago. now it started to get hot but i never ran it above 3/4 hot. so i do a pressure check on the cooling system and water is literally coming out of both sides of the heads. where the heads meet the block? is this just a headgasket fix or more? i've never seen it leak like that! and its not mixing yet just pouring out of the side of the heads? anyone??

 

nobody has any input??

 

if it is coming out right where the head gasket is, it is either a head gasket failure or a head/block crack. either way it looks like you've got your work cut out for you.

are you certain it isn't dripping out from another location above?

 

did the pressure check and its coming out of both heads in the same place. right where the head meets the block.

 

who did the hg repair last?

If it was a shop, call them up!

 

did you get your block or heads decked when u got the headgasket done?? if you elected not to then there could be sum warpage where the headgaskets blew last time and its finally causing an issue

 

I'm sure the shop had it done. i didnt tell them not to resurface.and i think it would have had an issue right when i got it if it was already warped. its been over a year and a half...

some peice of crap shop Benny's Toyota in Covina.... Biggest damn lagger ever.. said it would take 4 days and took over 2 months. never there and his lackeys dont know anything except to tell me that i have to talk to to owner about the progress of my truck. and what are they going to do about it now? its been almost 2 years.

 

You could do it yourself in two months working 30 minutes a day.

Doesn't sound good in any case. And on both sides

 

yeah no kidding. well i think i'm doing this one myself. new headbolts and all. and actually now its not leaking from the heads anymore but its losing water still.

 

make sure the block is straight too tho.. the heads are easy cuz u will have them off but if your block needs machineing that involves pulling the block and thats the step i would think your shop might have skipped.. i spent sum time at a toyota dealer and the added labour in taking the block out to machine it was about 8 hours...

 

well got sick of having no truck and took it in to the shop. $950 for headgaskets to be changed. with all machine work and gaskets. Damn 3.0 headgaskets.... but i'll have my truck by friday so i'm not complaining.... too much.....

 

You didn't go back to the same shop , did you ?

 

hell no... those bastards took 2 months to finish! this will only take a few days. i know that because he does all my other work and is always finished when he says.

 

an update! my truck is done!! finshed in 3 days! awesome work and done very quickly! pm me if anyone wants the # to the shop. i take my truck there for all maintenance that isnt really easy stuff.. good prices, honest, and best of all fast turnaround time!! back on the road again!!!
