Re: 2001 silouette gaskets

I am down to the heads removal. Every time I think it's going OK something else pops its ugly head. The only thing keeping me going is I really like the vehicle (when its working), and I cannot afford to get it fixed or replaced. I have been out of work for 7 months, so I have to fix it. Actually this is the very first major repair since new in 2001.

I can probably get the front head off with some swearing and cussing, but the back one will put me in the mental ward!

I read all these post where they say "just rotate the engine and you will get it done easily" are they kidding? I have read the article about LIM replacement, I wish that was the only thing I had to do, I would be finished already. But not being sure that the head gaskets are not blown necessitates their change. Also what I have read is they will blow anyway, there is 90k miles on the car.

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it.
