Title: headgasket whoes
Post by: 91turboeco on March 25, 2006, 10:57:42 am: it took a while but i final got the headgasket on and finshed. the first time i started it i couldn't get it with the starter so i draged it. when it finally started it was running rough, i could not let off or it would stall, there was no power. i was thinking that maybe it would have to break it or something''first headgasket on a diesel.'' after it warmed up i turn the bolt the other quarter turn when to start it wont start had to drag again.
well today i go out to work on it see whats going on. i turn the motor by hand and hear compression escaping from i thing the valves. from all 4 cylinders. im guessing that its not normal. wonder what i shound do?
do the gasket again,reseat or replace valves??
