I have a blown header gasket that I have to change, so my truck should be running fine again soon. Now if only I could fix my other two problems.

what wsa wrong with it? was it just making ticking nosies?

messed up c-10 · 01-06-2003, 12:15 AM

it started as a low ticking noise then it got louder and louder as I drove it so I let it sit for awhile until I could look at it. At first I tought it was a stuck lifter but it is only a blown gasket and I plan on fixing it after school tomorow. When I get it going again I can go back to looking for a job to get that new motor, hood, and interior. How come you arn't ever logged onto AIM anymore? Everytime my computer stays on long enough for me to log in I don't see you. No big deal though.

well as soon as my dad takes the computer to the shop it will be working fine again. I'm going to autozone today after school and I'm going to get as far as I can but I doubt I'll be able to finish today. After I get it going again I'll get those pos street tires off of there. right now the front left is flat and the back right isnt far behind.

messed up c-10 · 01-06-2003, 06:22 PM

ok the gasket was blown on the fourth cylinder on the pass. side. and was almost about to go on the front cylinder. I'm going to go ahead and change the driver side too.

ocbaud · 01-06-2003, 06:56 PM

i probably need to also, mine are leaking i think.

i'm gonna get some nice copper ones for the headers and collectors with some stage 8 locking bolts when i get my shorties

low 84 · 01-06-2003, 09:27 PM

after you put them on retighten them after the first time you run it and then keep checking them for a few weeks, if you keep the bolts tight they won't blow out as easily

messed up c-10 · 01-06-2003, 11:35 PM

all done for right now. Didnt get the drivers side done. I'll do it later on when I need to do it. I'm going to do the tires tomorrow. Feels great to have it working again. I need to tighten my alt. belt too its pretty loose.
