Blown head gasket

So I'm pretty sure I blew it. Oil is clean but exhaust is sweet and watery on ground. Plus I'm losing coolant.

So, what is the best gasket, and is now the time to upgrade the heads? I think I can find some built GT40 heads for about $500, but is that and the gasket all I need to buy?

 

how many miles on the engine?

 

Idk, 71k according to odometer, but I have only owned it for 3 months so I can't say how many times cud turned over...

 

You will need a new intake gasket, some high-temp RTV.

Be sure the springs on the heads match your cam specs.

Loc-tite? if you are into that.

Any name brand gaskets will work for you.

You will really like the way those heads wake up that engine, if you are upgrading from stock heads. You will also have room to grow on your intake and cam, if you ever decide to upgrade those.

 

What about intake gasket?

 

same thing. Just get a good name brand. I tend to use Fel-Pro all the way around, but that is just personal preference.

FYI--post 12,000!!! :bananaman

 

yes, fel-pro...do it b4 it totally blows through and you get stranded though

 

Thanks guys, congrats on 12k posts scooper!

Btw I'm driving a different car, I don't want to damage anything.

 

D And be careful if planning on porting those GT40's

 

Yeppers. Not much room for porting on those critters...
