Re: N* Head Gasket repair part I/ Remove engine

I'll add a middle thread of prepping the heads and some other tips soon.
We got the engine in today but didn't finish hooking everything up.

I did find something verrrrrrrryyyyy interesting. I hadn't noticed it when we pulled the heads but the head gasket was rusting. I think this might explain why they are inconsistent. They still have some clamping force and the swelling of the gasket makes it act differently at times. Look at the rusty spots on the end cylinder.
This was the head side and we didn't check it originally, but as we were cleaning up I saw it.
