1987 samurai head issue
« on: August 08, 2010, 06:12:41 PM »
i just bought another samurai. its a 1987. Theres anti-freeze coming out of the exhaust but none in the oil. It starts right up when its cold but once it warms up it doesnt like to start unless you take the cap off of the radiator. Cracked head? head gasket junk? how much work is it to replace the head gasket? thanks

Could be head, gasket, or even cracked block (I had one crack in the cylinder bore).

Easiest way to pull the head is to take it w/ both manifolds attached. Not too time consuming.
