the greatest how to video that has and ever will exist!
Finally someone who speaks in layman terms , great video
Best video commentary ever.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to film the process.
just taking my heads off now and yep, water gushed out of back left head bolt hole. Must be normal. my gasket has no water issue. Thanks for the video. great help. Cheers.
They very rarely do head gaskets it's normally the lower intake plenium gasket that causes coolant and oil to mix
@Benny Hutch 7 months later may have also saved me an entire weekend
@Benny Hutch was it getting warm with the leak?mine is but it still recons its got good compression and is only slightly making a milkshake
@Benny Hutch well I got the intake gasket kit today so il slap it in tomorrow and see how it goes fresh oil change for the system to
@Benny Hutch it worked man car runs fuckn awesome
@Benny Hutch hahaha yeah bro I got it cheap the bro couldn't work out what it was and I Sussed it within 4 days of ownership
PART 2 DUDEE THAT WAS A GOOD 1😊
straight to the point!!!👍👍👍👌👌
This would be the best video I've seen on CZcams for a while, I'm cracking up with laughter hahahahaha !!!!!!!!!
First issue clean engine bay fist will create less contamination when doing the rest of the thread bro awesome work
You sound like me swearing when I'm working on my car! Lol 😂
this is real helpful man cheers!
Great vid man haha im pulling my vt apart this weekend to do the same job.
haha, great vid, bullbags bogan outback customs! awesome!
Great vid bro
cheers for the video mate
The "little do-flakky" is the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve. When it dies it makes the engine surge, usually makes u think its the fuel filter when it's not. Not that I've ever had that happen....
Hahah 11:32 background
was thinking that you confused rocker cover gaskets with head gasket until I saw you dig right into the engine bay then I was like "yup, he be looking for a carton in there"
Good vid. Cracked up at some ya comments aye
thanks glad you liked it
As soon as ya see a blocked up water jacket in the commodores safe to say its inlet manifold.. that pipe is your heater outlet pipe .. top effort.. be sure to have a set of fuel line removal tools next time lol
make sure that pipe in the belt tensioner seals properly too, I had to replace the tensioner on my VS!, what a pain in the Arse, lol
Ok cheers, its what i was thinkin but i had drained all the coolant out of the motor and was confused why there would be coolant coming out of the head
how do you undo the clips holding the loom to inlet manifold near the injectors?
What a dead set legend....
Where ya live I actually need the head gaskets on my VX commodore
oh & @ 12:17, that's the electronic EGR Valve (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) which feeds exhaust gases back into the intake to make the car "Emit Less"
You get that on the big jobs lol
Dunno but I keep coming to this video time and time again for no reason
Did u fix the problem after all that im doing the same to my commy its got coffee sludge (water and oil) in the engine
What a mission mate lol
Mate, youre fuckin awesome ay.. aussie legend, great guide!
Champion
to good man so aussie
The car wizard guy (you may have seen him) says it's often an intake manifold gasket. I have no idea how an intake manifold gasket has coolant cores in it but whatever....
G day mate.
F#cking this f#cking that.
Great video 👍👍🤣😂🤣😂
Fcking brilliant mate. Nothing but head fcks!
Where did u buy the head gaskets from
"Fahhkn ahh 13 mil bolt ahhh fahhkn"
9:56 lol frickin GMH, If you have no water in engine oil, or smoke out of exhaust, & car runs ok. before you do any big maintenance job, Check your Radiator oil cooler, the rubber seals, can deteriorate and cause brown sludge in coolant. my vx commodore had that problem.
8:50 do flacky watery something 😂
If its only leaking a bit and still runs try nulon head gasket seal;its kept my car going for 8 years ;I have put maybe four bottles in over that time and run 70000k's;I wouldn't drive it hard tho
Hahaha....how not to do it?! Bro, I larfed all the way thru....
Ok didnt know that what else can cause it this the first time i have worked on anyhing like this
cheers hope it helped i hate vids that use shit i dont understand
I’ve got oil leaking into my radiator and I’m loosing about a litre a week.
we got them from ebay. think it was $250 for the full gasket set
Clean engine bay what you use
@ 9:56 😁😁😁😀😃😃👍👍
good vid ,i hav 2 do my head gaskets also ,cause i hav coolent in exhaust pipe posible cracked gasket or head but i hope not!
Hey mate were you loosing coolant from the overflow tank? and after the job did it got fixed?
Parvez Ahmed hey mate i have same problem in my commo . Did u find out what it was ??
most of the bolts on the car arent metric like the intakes there 3/8 so be carefull next time
9:56 classic, should be working for GM
intake manifold gasket leaks etc
keep it fucking clean mate and shit wont happen :)
Where part 2
I think some of the head bolts go into the water jacket
sure is hopefully i dont have to work on it for a while
Hey, it's not always the head gaskets on these motors if you have oil in the water.
@ 9:56 😂😂
@14.26 😂😂
Haha classic commy
5.10 ahhhh dont do that 😂😂
add "yt:stretch=16:9" to the video tags, this should make the vid look less squished,
You push the metal clips on the injector plugs in not pull out.
bullbags1 i have a weird question for ya , what song was playing in background between 7:56 and 8:03 many thanks, my vt wagon did its headgasket at 200km so i went to ford BF much better never look at another holden again
Hey did you ever find out the song I think it's an Usher song but can't quite hear it properly lol
5:10 hahaha
Dude that thing is horribly dirty, even if you are bush bashing, or country driving, keep it clean, fuark.
First thing to do was clean/degrease the donk.
lol
I do then in 1 day you don't to take the whole thing off.
