If replacing the head gasket on a 99 eclipse do i need the whole gasket set or just the head gasket?
just the gasket is fine if you don't remove the intake or exhaust manifolds, as the kit would include those gaskets as well; also the kit comes with new cam and valve seals.
What are the risks of just changing the head gasket without getting the whole head redone on a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am SE I mean?
No risk just make sure head is not warped before replacing gasket Is this a quad 4 motor????????????????????
How do you fix a oil leak from intake manifold gasket?
By replacing the whole gasket.
If replacing the head gasket on a 1994 Honda Civic EX do you need just the head gasket or the whole head gasket set?
yes, you should replace ALL gaskets that you come across. When you release pressure on a gasket, the seal has now been lifted. You need to place all new gaskets so they can set and create a new seal. if you are just doing the head gasket, not getting the head surfaced or doing any other work- then getting the head gasket and any others piece by piece will be more economical- the head set will include intake/exhaust manifolds, valve cover, valve stem seals, etc... the valve cover gasket can be re-used if in good condition (not hardened), and you can pull the head on the d-series motor with intake and exhaust manifolds attached
How much to fix a head gasket on a 1996 dodge intrepid?
Most shops will charge $900.00 to a $1000.00, this is a lot of work. They basically have to tear apart the whole upper half of engine and replace all of the gaskets. Not to mention at that time it would be a good idea to do the valves, the gaskets would already come in the kit, so just the labor to change valve seats.
Your car is overheating the water pump went and the thermostat colomn had a whole in it it is still really badly overheating could it be the head gaskets?
On many engines you have to bleed the air from a bleed screw or trapped air will stop coolant from circulating. Thermostat installed backwards? Radiator plugged up? Hopefully it's not head gaskets. If it's blowing white smoke and the exhaust smells sweet, then it is head gasket.
Is it better to repair head gaskets or replace the engine?
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.
Do you have to replace the whole engine if the head gasket is blown?
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.
Should you change the gaskets and filter on a 1996 Toyota Corolla auto transmission when you change the transmission oil at 180000 miles?
you do not need to change gaskets just a good flush will do the trick If the transmission pan has been removed, then you should replace the gasket. The only other reason for changing it is if it is leaking transmission oil from the gasket. Otherwise the above answer is good. Just watch out that whoever does it doesn't over tighten the plug. Toyota overtightened my wifes and trashed the threads. Had to replace the whole pan and Toyota wouldn't fess up to their mistake! There goes another couple hundred bucks!
How do you repair a leaking return pipe?
Where ever it is leaking, there is some form of gasket. The connection may just need to be tightened or the gasket replaced. The gaskets are different depending on where they are.Improved answer. -If it's an old grey plastic or steel pipe, it's almost impossible to seal leaks at either end. Take it off and go to Home Depot and buy a new SS braided rubber hose for less than $5. - These have excellent gaskets at each end. -Sometimes it's just not worth it to fool around with old junk !
Could it be bad compression that your 87 ford 302 efi runs terrible when cold you replaced heads intake gaskets head gaskets every gasket on top of motor and no luck?
yes in short the metal contracts when it is cold thus giving you less compression, that or it has scratches through the cylinder sleeve or it could be a bad ring but if its the whole engine not just one cylinder its the cold u just need to let it warm up more
How do you replace head gaskets on 03 grand am 3.4 liter?
no offence.... but if your asking then it probably isn't something you can do yourself. you have to remove the whole upper half of the engine. valve cover, heads, and anything else that might bolt into the valve cove or heads. which is usually alot of stuff! if you really want to do it though then start by getting a manual at most parts stores. they are about $20 dollars. but the whole head gasket set you need will be between $200-400. if you haven't tried already, then go out and get bottle of radiator stop leak. alot of times it will do the trick. it's not permanent but it will get you by for awhile!
