How long to change head gasket on p38. 4.6 2000 reg

use $33 head gasket repair from Bar's Leaks. It worked for my car's seepage of antifreeze into the cylinder. It might help you for a reasonable cost.

Just pour it in and let it work for 15 minutes and hopefully your car's coolant system will be fine.

Otherwise, it may cost hundreds of dollars if not over $1000.

Good luck to you on this.

i have a clio, had same problem too. its the head gasket. when this breaks or cracks it allows water into parts of the engine it should not, and therefore the water starts to mix with the oil forming this 'light brown gunge' the problem is that when driving with a damaged head gasket you will damage the head of the engine too which is why this is reoccuring. your best bet is to take apart the engine, clean it out, buy a new head gasket and then get the head of your engine skimmed. this could solve the problem depending on how damaged your head is.

why eliminate head gasket? head gasket failure can cause loss of both fluids. i suspect the oil light is lost oil pressure because the head gasket is toast or the head is now warpped and thus leaking. you should be able to see signs of leakage around the head.

do you see any oil getting into your rad? if not then the oil must be leaking around the head.

This being a diesel, lack of compression is your worst enemy. These symptoms sound like a blown head gasket. Check your coolant for signs of oil, and check your oil for signs of coolant. (oil will be milky looking) Also indicative of a head gasket problem is an oil or coolant leak from the engine as well. If you see no evidence of the above, have a compression test done, and it should show up.

your engine turns clockwise and sounds like your timing is out.

Is the head or a rocker cover gasket leaking? Gasket is an relatively easy fix.

try running redex through the system then change the fuel filter to rule out a blocked line

10\40 oil ,before changing oil put an engine flush in the engine,then change oil and filter.the noise sounds like noisy tappets,the oil leak unlikely to be head gasket unless u are losing water

Sounds like you have a leaking head gasket.

whats the question? the head bolts getting loose?
if thet's the question some bolts strench after the firts use
you need to install new head bolts
