5.7 chevy silvarodo how to change head gaskets
No
if the miles on the engine aren't too high, then just replace the head gaskets. if the whole engine is tired go ahead and swap out the motor. its a lot cheaper to do the gaskets then to buy a new motor.
intake gaskets are between the head and intake. head gaskets are between the head and the block..
The heads don't necessarily need to be resurfaced when you change the head gaskets unless you think they may be cracked. They should be resurfaced every time the gaskets are changed, but you can get by without resurfacing them.
The size of the motor does not cause a head gasket to blow.. Its a ford though so its basically every motor they put their name on..

Head gaskets are supposed to last the life of the engine. There is no "care" specific to head gaskets.
