Head gaskets on a 4.2L
Interestingly enough, BOTH head gaskets on my 95RRC 4.2 L are leaking at the corners. Appears to be an external leak only - plugs look good, compression in all cylinders is around 130, etc. From what I have read, people say that head gaskets fail for a reason and you need to find the reason (i.e. warped decking, warped head, slipped liner, cracked liner, etc). My vehicle does not overheat at all so the thought of a slipped/cracked liner seems low probability. Who has replaced head gaskets on their 4.2? What did you find? Did you just replace the head gaskets? Did a problem re-surface? What else should I replace while I am in there? i.e. new lifters if lifters are cupped, etc??
This is my 1st post on this forum, appreciate the help!
