So i have put up a few posts recently about random misfire codes then i did a compression check and found out that #3 and #5 were about 60 psi. This is what i found when i pulled the head off!!!!!! I have never seen a head gasket this bad before.

 

naa thats still good for another 100k lol

 

I may be wrong,but i dont think thats the factory gasket set. Did you buy this used? maaybe the person before you didnt torque it down correctly.

 

I thought the same thing on the torque,

 

ya i bought it used. That is a fel-pro gasket so i am also thinking improper installation. the blazer also has 211K on it, but i dont know when this gasket was last changed.

 

Hmm. have the heads checked for cracks. If you have a crack where the headgasket is broken between cylinders that could be the reason that failed.

 

So today i got to take it on a test drive so i know its all good. I couldnt do it last night because i had wayyyyy to many beers. When i pulled back into the drive and was doing a once over, the water pump took a ****. the weep hole was pouring. I just can't win with this thing.

 

lol thats the way it happens. its a easy job though. pop off top rad cover,fan,4 bolts and a hose. then replace and bleed. Done.
