Head gasket leaks compression pressure into cooling system. The cap on the rad can only maintain 16psi. When this is overcome your coolent gets sent to the overflow bottle, and a huge air pocket is left in its place. Thus not leaving enough fluid to cool the engine. ---

We did head gaskets on my dads explorer 4.0 a while ago and it took about 4 hours total. Keep a box of plastic bags and a sharpie handy and go to town. I usually use masking tape and label the connectors and shit, but that’s a little overkill. good luck ---

keep pushrods in the same place and rockers… just get a few old beer cases and use them to keep them organized like left front and right front and keep the rockers in order. and clean clean clean the serface. minus well get the heads decked to get them cleaned up… if you think its ness. broughers on 51 does them for like 30 bucs a head i think… not expensive to keep you from doing it again. but not totally ness all the time. ---
