Yes... but it is almost impossible and tends to require more time than following the directions (remove engine, remove timing belt, remove intake, remove heads).
Yes, takes more time...remove mount tilt engine with floor jack from underneath. U need a special torque wrench though...does degree calculations. I do definitely do it with engine in. Saves me a lot of time.
Yes.
You may need to replace the radiator thermostat and gasket.
Replace the head gasket for sure. That is assuming you did not continue to drive the vehicle until you destroyed the engine internally.
head gasket blown. reface the cylinder head and replace gasket. that should fix the problem
about $600. Std. labor estimate is 5.47 hours to lift engine, replace gasket, replace engine and realign steering.
The have to pull the engine. The valves are on the sides of the block.
No. You can have the head gasket replaced. This is unless you kept driving the car with a blown head gasket and have totally destroyed the engine.
Bad thermostat, plugged radiator, blown head gasket in order of expense.
The oil pan is at the very bottom of the engine. The gasket sits between the oil pan and the bottom of the block.
If that is the Northstar engine, yes.
YES! Replace the head gasket or destroy the engine if you continue to drive it.
You will more then likely have to pull the engine OUT to do that.
