To all those guys that said a head gasket couldn’t be changed in one night.You was absolutely correct, haha. I have everything off besides the bottom head bolts….i was wondering if any of you guys know the correct socket size for them, i cant find the right one, thanks
PS. My problem was a blown head gasket,175 all the way around besides the middle right chamber, it was 125

You are correct about the head gasket. I did that job about 1 year ago.

Just some friendly advice, check your heads for warpage. This can be done with some feeler gauges and a square.

I will give you the size of the head bolt when I get home tonight. I have my old engine pulled. (blew an oil pump a week ago)

Some more friendly advice. No matter what anyone tells you, you HAVE to replace the head bolts with new ones. If you don't, you will be doing this job over again.

Thanks,

Keith

Seemingly random 'will it fit' and 'how well does it work' kinds of questions...
