Replacing Head Gasket?????Asu 03-19-2008, 09:49 PM I ws wndering if you guys had any advice or tips when replacing a head gasket. I havea 1987 cherokee 4.0. Thanks.... MagicRat 03-21-2008, 09:04 AM Get a good service manual. A chiltons or Haynes manual is good. Also, when you get the head off, send it out to a machine shop to check it for straightness, cracks etc. It may need the deck surface planed. I do this every time because, usually, head gaskets blow (especially on all -cast iron engines like this one) for a reason; often related to the condition of the head. This problem should be found and corrected or you risk having the new gasket blow again. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2010, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
