hey guys, fairly new to the forum. this might have been covered numerous times so i apoligize cause im in a bit of a rush. so hopefully you all dont beat me up to much for not searching as much as i should have
90 7mge, around 200k purchused about 5 months ago, was sitting for a swap, situation changed so it will need to be a barely running daily for about 1-2 months untill the swap occurs ( chevy 5.3, but ill post about that later)
i am a master tech so i am familiar with everything suggested that i will need to do.
having the temp and idle issues commonly associated with a bhg, not surprised. but here is the question
metal hg and arp bolts a must? i know its the way to fix, but a cheap gasket kit and bolts would deff fit my situation, just want it to run, wont blast on it.
and is milling the head a must?
common issue with this motor i know, but will the cheap repair last a few months. dont really want to spend 150+ on a mhg that will be used for a month or 2
trust me i know the arps and mhg are the correct answer, just curious if anyone has had any luck with the cheap repair.
any answers from you guys is very appriciated. hoping to become more of an active member here as my build progesses
