Re: How to do an engine assessment on my wifes 81A?
Got it. No tricks. Basically all you need is another head gasket. Drain the coolant. Pull the old head and gasket and replace with new. Torque it down in a circular pattern from the center of the head to the outside ends. I usually do it in 3 stages, 40 lb-ft, 50 lb-ft and ending at 55-lb-ft. Fill the cooling system with straight water. Run a couple of temp cycles checking for leaks and retourque. Drain the cooling system and refill with proper coolant.
