1986Caprice 5.0: good video.. but don't do that pop up in the truck bed with the tailgate open...its really scary bro Bobby Jackson: hi Scott I got a 1989 Ford ranger 2.4l 5 speed I was just wondering how you can tell there is a blown head gasket my truck when first starting it runs rough then sometimes it dies out and sometimes it dies out at a stop sign and when you go to push on the gas it has no power can you help me please or someone help me please and ty David Jefferson: 2 shops told me they needed to take the engine apart to know. Then they charged 50% more ($2400) than the $1600 from fair estimate for a head gasket and timing belt fix.... Something smells fishy. wujajacek: I have changed my head gasket twice in one week. Co2 is still in my coolant tank... Whats now? Shavar Thompson: I gotta coolant leak behind my engine thats spits out coolant when the car is off in a 1998 dodge ram 1500 quad cab sle Jessy Rich: You are awsome where can I get a tester like that jazzycarlos101: Great video scotty i have a question for you. Lets say the head gasket is blown, in your expertise would you recommend replacing the head gasket or get a new engine for the same price it would be to fix the head gasket? The Poor Gamer: The best example engine is the 3100 SFI. Keith Newton: But we do not have cars with radiator caps we have expansion tanks does it work the same ? archangele1: When ever I have experienced a bad head gasket the first thing I noticed was that I was loosing antifreeze. Then as things got worse, the car would start to run too hot and occasionally over heat. When the car was cold, I would remove the radiator cap and then start the engine. Every time I had a bad head gasket, the coolant, once circulating, would look as if someone dropped a 'fizzy' in the radiator with all those bubbles. Also, the radiator would quickly start puking out antifreeze. But, I would imagine this test Scotty has could show even very small leaks which may go unnoticed initially. Where I saw the most blown head gaskets was with certain cars that had iron blocks and aluminum heads. Bad news. Dissimilar metals with gaskets between them are a recipe for leaks. Nope Nope: Yeah the test is simple but fixing the problem isnt Nick Coo: Hey scotty Its Nick from Australia I got a problem . 1999 1.8ltr landrover freelander . now head was replaced and one of the head bolts that are torx bolts the head of the bolt that the socket goes on sheard of tight in the head. the bolt is in there but if it needs to come out how do I remove it?. any ideas welding on to it might be a prob as every thing is alloy. interested to hear your ideas. Thank Nick missmeonbs: Scotty is hilarious to me. Archie Ray Douglas: can I bring my car to u lol to put it on yur tester r where. an I get that tester from Emilio Ortiz: For repair heads after engine over heating what needs to be replace or done? At the end is their suppose to be any noise whatsoever? Jim Vindrocklin: I have a bike with no spark coils are fine pick up is fine cdi is fine im thinking is kickstand im not sure yourleftnut1: it works.. tried it on my GF's civic Nicholas Miranda: what if you dont have a radiator cap just a resawar jose chavez: Thanks for the video, i have a 2012 lincoln mkt lost all the water, i put three gallons and it went straight to the oil pan, after that i started it to move it a few feet and and then I shut it down, does this sound like a head gasket? Can a car with a blown head gasket start at all? Any info on this matter, would be much appreciated.
