[QUOTE="schone, post: 86683, member: 41"] Ouch! Jarance - I've gone through an engine overheating and gasket failure before... it's a long process to fix it all properly.. don't rush it. My problem ended with the gasket replacement - cld be worse if the top blockwas warped - then I"d have to replace the top. What they did was - take top block out - do pressure test to make sure no hidden leaks - skim the block to smoothen the part that joins to the bottom (prevoius two points - I'm not sure which order it's done) - if block ok - replace gasket - then drive the car hard to make sure it doesn't overheat Whilst at it, it's not unusual to replace parts and everything else (hoses, clips, etc) to bring things back to top shape ;) Good luck!!
