Re: Cam Replacement

Exhaust leak from head bolts? You have blown the head gasket, and probably should have a coolant leak too. Those bolts hit coolant, if they are loose, they should leak, even if the gasket wasn't blown. But if you had an exhaust ticking "leak" from those bolt being loose, the head gasket is definately blown.

BTW, don't use thread locker on head bolts. They shold have thread sealer on the ones that hit coolant and motor oil on the ones that dont. Those bolts stay tight from "stretch"

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
