Just curious, what are the symptoms when you guys head gasket blows?

 

head gasket?
if you meant header gasket, when its blown its got a really raspy tone, and most of the sound comes from under the hood rather than the muffler. also there seems to be possibly a power loss (it might have been in my head) and when the gasket is replaced the car seems to have more pep.

 

ugh.. sorry can't respond pm or anything

 

That"s funny. I have been misreading that you guys" head gaskets were blowing. I was wondering why you seemed so casual about what was such a serious engine problem! Boy, I have to be more careful reading threads.

 

lol. nah, i'd be hella pissed if my head gasket blew.

 

I just assumed that you guys are such hot dog mechanics that not even a blown head gasket could get you down.

 

I used Mr gasket brand, can I see a link to what you got?

 

yeah, the correct term is midway gasket. Ran into that problem myself

 

I want to exchange info but can't lol. I can't find screen capture button on my keyboard.

 

midway gasket huh? alright good. ive been wondering for quite a while what the proper term for it is. ive always had to call it the header gasket between the 2-piece flange. lol.
im not sure what i have. i bought it at auto zone. it came in a big sheet and didnt really have much labeling on it. the part of the shrink wrap that had the label on it is gone.
