Sometimes they go BANG and some times they begin to leak very slowly.
how long does it take
take off the head, replace gasket. reinstall head
It should take about 8 hours give or take...
if a small gasket crack is suspected then it may be possible to fix by using a bottle of Bar's Head Gasket Repair. It is a permanent repair and only costs around $10-$12. Much easier than breaking down to the head gasket.
i read seven hours
4 hours.
I would be more worried about the length of time that a head gasket has been left on your Jimmy. I take the gasket off my Jimmy right after I'm done using it. 16 years is a long time.
Yes, but so would really worn valve stems or guides. Either case, you gotta take the head(s) off, then do both! Head gasket(s) and a valve job.
Well, if you take off the head,on the engine, you will see the gasket.
If the engine has gotten really hot, not long at all. If you're having overheating problems, you may have a warped head and/or a leaking head gasket.
It takes between 6 and 8 hours to change the head gasket on a Dodge. The actual time will vary based on the skill level of the mechanic and the availability of tools.
Either a blown head gasket, or more specifically a cracked head due to overheating. This allows fuel to escape the cylinder into the cooling system.
