3800 I need some help fixing a blown head gasket

[imported_GraFFix]

Like the title says, I need some help replacing the head gaskets on my car. I had someone who was going to help me out but now they cant. So im looking again. I will buy the parts needed, and will wrench where I can I just need a place to do it and someone with the knowledge to get this job done with minimal issues. This is my DD and I have been borrowing a car to get to and from work for the past month. I need to get this fixed pretty soon.

I can tow the car anywhere to your garage, will have all the parts ready, willing to toss some cash your way as well as any food/beer needed to get this job done.

If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. im running out of options and dont have the cash to take it to a shop to fix it.

Thanks

If you've got a garage let's just get some people together and get it done at your place. Proper tools are all that's necessary as well as beer.

Hey im up for that..space in the garage is limited though cause the mustang isnt moving out of the garage cause of weather and no insurance. Alos it woul dhave to be doe in one day..There is another car that parks in the garage so that would have to be able to get back in the same day.

But if someone with experiance is willing to help me out in my garage then im all for that...

As long as you have a garage I wouldn't mind helping, not the smartest guy but I have some knowledge.

Realistically I need someone who knows exactly what their doing to help me fix me car. Thanks for all the offers to come help/watch but I dont want this to be an experiment. I need someone to help me who knows exactly what their doing so I dont have any issues when its done.

If I can find someone who definatly knows how to do the head gaskets I dont have a problem with letting people come over to watch. There is one person I still have to talk to about this so i will keep the thread updated.

well like i said ive done them before. all it is really is just removing the S/C, LIM and other nic-nacs. removing the heads scraping off the old gaskets and setting the new ones.

I could do it; it's just a matter of lining up the planets to make sure our schedules are in sync. It might be better in that case to let Ricky do it. Him and a friend resurected the chassis I gave them into a running car...

 

[Ricky Gonzalez]

Thanks Mike but im not gonna pay you for this endorsment.
