Post Northstar head gasket repair in SW Ontario - cheap!

Hey all,

Saw this on the London Kijiji, don't know who the guy is or what his reputation is, but thought someone might find this useful if you are anywhere in south western Ontario and need a HG job:

Compared to what others have paid, $1,150 is pretty damn cheap.

Have a good one,
Jad

Re: Northstar head gasket repair in SW Ontario - cheap!

My method of repairing the head gaskets eliminates time-serts and helicoils altogether. It's stronger, more durable, and less likely to crack the block. I upgrade from the 7/16" factory head bolts to 1/2" (using custom machined bolts that have a tensile strength exceeding 180,000psi) and 13 threads/inch which is coarser than the factory threads. I remove very little material from the block itself to do this, and machine out the cylinder heads to accept the thicker bolts. I am currently in the process of developing a do-it-yourself kit for this particular method. --ONLY WORKS WITH ENGINES THAT HAVE NEVER HAD TIME-SERTS BEFORE-- (and most have not). I use loc-tite permanent strength thread locker on the bolts and FEL-PRO gaskets, and warranty the repair for 30,000 kms (18,600 miles) or 12 months, although I believe if the cooling system is properly maintained, this repair will last the life of the car
