HG Question

[JDMMA70]

I know what the search button is but my question seemed unique. Is it possible to take out one headbolt (Not sure what they are actually called) at a time and install an ARP Headbolt?

Question: Is your HG blown?

not sure it leaking just a LITTLE bit of coolant.

I was GOING to do that, but i got as far as putting the wrench on the head bolt and then chickened out and just accepted that it if it wasnt blown why fuck w/ it.

If its leaking now, than its already blown and this wont really fix anything. You could delay the inevitable or finish it off all together.

Does it show any other signs to show that its blown? I dont have a Garage to fix this and i hear toyota charges $800 for a headgasket change.

A generic block tester.

I got mine at napa, glass tube that fits onto radiator filler hole and you let the car run for like 15 minutes and the liquid inside the glass tube will change color if its got co2 in it. aka exhaust gas creeping into coolant system.

Cost me $50

Don't want to spend even that? Amble on down to the local pet store and buy a narrow range PH test kit for aquariums. 5 bucks. Take the test tube inside and fill it a third full of tap water. Add 2 or 3 drops of the chemical that came in the kit, cap and lightly shake. The water will turn blue. Now fill the second third with hot coolant. Even better if the car has just overheated or the temp gage shot up. Cap and shake. If it turns bright yellow you're screwed.
