Any tips for prep and reassembly? Cylinder heads, block, etc.
I'm heading to the auto parts store to pick up a can of copper-spray-a-gasket to cost the head gaskets. And a tube of high temp thread sealant for the head bolts. The intake manifold gaskets are fine and sealed to the heads still. My exhaust flange gaskets are fine also. I probably should get a new set of spark plugs though. I have everything to do an oil change also.

The gasket blew in the exact same place as the 20 year old gasket did about 4 years ago. Different set of heads this time same block though. It's right below the outer head bolt on the number 7 cylinder. Not one of the ones between the rockers but rather one of the "middle" head bolts. I'll post a picture when I get back to the house. No coolant in my oil. How can j tell if my coolant is still good? I run dexcool and at $18/Gal. The stuff ain't cheap. It looks fine except for the one dead fly and moth floating in it.lol.
