Thanks for ask the posts is there anything I should be concerned about for taking off the head or valve cover ? Want to make sure I don’t mess anything up and I always love advice from people who’ve been there and done that.

Ahhh I love both of you for the help, let’s remember here though Im intelligent and mechanically incline not a mechanical expert:P

So to check for bent valves I should take off the valve cover and the heads and flips the head over because the valves are exposed on the under side of the combustion chamber right ? Or can I check the valves just by taking the valve cover over ?

I can look up how to check for leaks on a head on youtube or somewhere so we are good there.

The machine shop bit, If i do infact have bent valves, I take the head to them point out what valves need fixing and then they do what exactly, and approx. how much would it cost.

Thanks so much again for your help.

Well, the repair is complete. I took the water pump back off as suggested and the original gaskets were tore up. So I went out and bought some fel-pro’s which are really high quality. Put them on there and all was well. The moral of this story and the lesson that was learned is that low quality gaskets will fail if not babied. And that letting your gasket adhesive dry before putting on the part is a good idea thanks for all your help.

Will Update the Repair tomorrow, just got done. Went to the lake today for 5 hours swam two miles, came home and went to work. So I’ll make an update video after school. Thanks

I put the gaskets on with gasket sealer *to the pump itself* and then bolted the pump on to the engine again. It is likely that I screwed it up, because it was very tricky getting it on there. I waited a bit though, I completely reassembled everything once I put on the pump and then filled up the radiator

Hmmmm, I’m not saying you’re wrong. I thought the intake manifold was up higher than the leak which is occurring at the oil pan and bottom part of the engine block level. Is it possible that the leak could be travelling down the length of the engine without showing prominent signs of it ? And as for the gasket idea, I will check that soon. Most likely in about 4 hours. I will update then.
