a head gasket doesn't really dry out. For the lack of a better term they are just a stamped piece of sheet metal

 

that makes sense. Heat seems to be the enemy of most head gaskets

 

So in hindsight I probably didn't have to take my truck lease for 15k per year. I've had it for 9.5 months and just now today I'm going to tick over to 8500 miles

 

If you watched Matt's video yesterday, you saw that there was a pending collab with Heavy D Sparks. Well... little did I know this has already happened. This is an hour long though, so I'll have to watch it later.

 

well..my coworker as expected is a miserable SOB already this week. Last day is thursday

 

Exactly...and the heads as they're prone to warp. I'd say there's one about every 2 months in this forum. A lot of those threads aren't titled correctly, probably why you don't notice them so much.

Overheat them once, could be all she wrote. Then your sort screwed if you can't do the work yourself...might as well throw a reman/good used in vs repair, as the cost is close to the same, once you consider what else has been hurt.

 

I know on the S-series saturns the head gaskets didn't take kindly to overheating as well. My parents never had that issue with our 94 but we also didn't let that motor get hot

 

Yea, it happened quick didn't it. He JUST called him lol....funny.

 

this sucks. That always scared me with my T-bird

 

Those two are a couple of numb nuts. That shouldn't have happened. "The accelerator is stuck, and I smell brakes, but lets just keep driving".
