In this video, I'll be discussing some unexpected surprises that I encountered during my LLY Duramax head gasket job.
I'll be discussing topics like why head studs are important, what factors go into a good head gasket test, and what to do if you experience head gasket symptoms. I hope this video will help you understand head gasket failures in a new way and help you avoid some of the same surprises that I encountered during my job!

3 quick things...that sanding block isn't flat enough, you need an actual lapping plate and you can't just go in one direction. Then the debris just gets Into the cylinders, coolant passages, lifters? You got to put something into those openings. A memory foam floor mat works well in my opinion. Last is check for deck and head flatness with a feeler guage and straight edge. Just my 2 cents.

Luke did a great job! That LLY is going to last a long time, and be a very dependable truck. I can't wait to win it!!

i had the same work done on my LML .. pulled heads .. completely machined them .. ARP studs .. mahle gaskets .. and threw in new injectors too .. diesels are expensive .. so find u a good diesel mechanic and treat them well/right .. i do .. imho though, my next diesel will be a cummins .. all diesels break .. but those straight 6s and simple design make them less expensive to maintain compared to dirtymaxes and powerstokes ..

When I looked into doing head gaskets myself I found those are the best gaskets to do the job too. Up here that job runs $6-8k. Kinda wondering what it cost you cause I have some of the issues you saw.

Hey man where would someone get a manual for doing a head gasket job ? More so want torque specs

@hunterharness Год назад

Did you learn what Luke’s background was?

@thruitallauto2538 Год назад

Most time head gasket troubles are caused by over heating them, how long did it take him to do the job

That is a very intimidating to me. I just bought my first diesel. A 2016 Duramax. I know nothing about diesel engines. Almost feel like I made a mistake but its mine for the next 5 years anyway.
