i dont see why you cant take a single day off from work.
is that 7 days a week, school and work from 7am to 10pm? what about weekends?

or pull the pile into a barn and start parting it out.

I think what your saying here, is MAKE TIME.
I'd like to be out at the bar every night, but apparently my truck brakes as much as yours. lol.

 

Yeah, if he's a mechanic it shouldn't be such an ordeal for him. Is he 100% sure it's the headgasket anyways?

 

I've put headgaskets on in as little as 2 hours. I did a 4banger Cavalier once in about in hour.
I think he said that he compression tested the cylinders and thats how he found out.

 

I check on alldata...looks like the time for one headgasket calls for about 8 hrs. I'm sure there is quite a bit of ground to be made up on that too.

 

we all know hes bluffing, its just another one of dave's "this is it im selling my truck" threads.

It'd be like the Mask movie with Jim Carry. he'd sell it, wake up the next morning and it would be back in his driveway.

YouTube blue devil

 

Damn.

lol

 

Fixed a Marauder once that some thugger-bumpers stole and dumped stuff similar to this into it. Clogged up the heater core real bad.

 

Yea that's why a bypassed my core for now. I sucked it up and bought all the parts looks like she goes under the knife tomorrow morning at 7am in the driveway. The only reason i don't enjoy working on it outside of work is because i am limited to tools, limited to part department and i don't have all the necessities as i do in the shop. So big jobs I end up having done. After reading alldata and looking at what it costs at the dealer i figured heck ill do my first headgasket job on my truck. It will be a learning experience. As always i have RF to post on if i get in a knot.

 

Take plenty of pictures when you disassemble.

 

Good for you bro, hope its not too much of a pain the ***. I sure as hell hope this is the last of it.

 

Dave just doesn't want us to have any of his parts

 

i'd feel bad trading it in with a blown head gasket with this blue **** i poured in it that worked lol. i just don't trust it. I get to drive the girls gay little neon till all day saturday and get harassed at work for driving a neon with zebra seats FML

Good to hear!

Taking bets on how long it takes before something else breaks.

 

They should be, as far as I know, the engine, frame and cab are all stamped to match

Did you take pics during the rebuild?

 

Stamped. Only the block. should be right on the front.

As for the bets. I got 2 weeks.
