head gasket replacement
Reply #22 –
3.8's are known to blow head gaskets, It's not a mystery. If you replace them you can get a long time before it happens again. Make sure it wasn't warped , and install a good name gasket. Sometimes the intake leaks and everybody says the head. That's negotiable , because when you replace the head gaskets you will replace the intake gasket. A compression check can usually find the difference. Worst case it can be a cracked head , then you put it back together and never know what happened.
