Parts (you are being optimistic you will come across worn out parts along the way or break a few hoses also you need new head bolts):
Thermostat: $20 Headgasket Kit: $160 Cylinder head bolts: $80 Serpentine belt: $32 Hose to heater: $20 Hose from expansion tank: $20 Machinist: $75 (this is critical too don't skip this step) Tools (I had to buy some for the job): Metric Impact Socket set (you will break regular sockets) Wobble extension set (you need this) Torque wrench Impact extension set 8mm 12 pointed socket large breaker bar long jointed ratchet Fluids: 6 quarts cheap oil for a flush then 6 quarts good stuff 1 gallon coolant 2 quarts power steering fluid Total for me was around $600 but like I said I bought some tools that made the job easier. |
Well I couldnt find a 8mm Impact socket today what other sizes will I need I dont want to buy a whole set?
Hey will I have to take off the timing cover looks like the timing cover is screwed on to the head? |
Idaho, if you are talking about the timing chain cover/oil pump, it's attached to the front end of the block. Actually, three of the bolts also secure the bottom part of the water pump. The hexheads are size 12 mm and there is no need for impact wrench to remove them. You will have to remove the front (I believe 4 ea) bolts from the oil pan. Hope this helps.

No, not to remove the heads.

Ok guys I know you wont like this question BUT I am moving out of my apt to a house with a garage in 7 days and I realy want to wait but I dont want to spend $$ getting the disco towed to the new house!!
So can I just replace the head gasket on the driver side AKA the bad one and then finish the job in my new garage??? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM |
I would just wait until you move and do them both at once. You don't want to make all that extra work for yourself believe me.

I know you have not done a head gasket job before but just imagine the entire top half of your engine removed sitting on your garage floor with 70% of the engine compartment components removed too, it is a big job. Head gaskets jobs are a pain in the ass enough believe me don't make it harder and more expensive. |
Got it I will just take it slow and pray I dont get every red light on the way!
Well my new garage will get broke in nicely and I guess so will I....DAMN In two weeks I have to put in sprinklers,grass on a .386 of acre, fix my disco, unload my apt + large storage to my house and work full time! This is going to take a lot of Ketel One hehe! Thanks guys I guess the on the other hand I could have no job be stuck in this apt and drive a Honda! I have a great life : ) |
