ok guys ... so my bros rex that we picked up .... well when we were tooling at it i checked everything but the radiator ..... now my brother is working at a repair shop right now, mostly just sweeping up ... he doesnt know all that much bout cars yet .... anyway one of the guys at the shop opened up his radiator and noticed oil in it ..... they think its the headgasket.....

from my knowledge i would agree .... either the head gasket or a cracked sleeve right??? i doubt a sleave is cracked, well cause its a stock motor that seems to be otherwise running well .....

so first off.... what u guys think??? definatly the head gasket????

and if so maybe u guys can give me some tips so i can replace the head gastet myself!...

i have the helms book to help me along, but are there any special tricks????..... i know when ya do a head gasket on a bseries you usualy replace head studs .... should i replace head studs on this d15b2?????

also i have head of people having a hard time getting the head studs loose....... and stripping them!!!! what the best thing i would want to do to make sure they break free easily and i dotn stip the head of the bolt, and what should i do if the head of the bolt does strip????

also does the cam have to come out in a sohc to get to the head bolts????

help please!!!! thanks!!

Joe
