Changing head gasket in 1987 camaro?

is it easier to pull engine?|||maybe you don%26#039;t have to even pick up a wrench





Here is how:





drain all the coolant out


rinse with lots of water...you have to get All the antifreeze out





fill almost full with CLEAN water





go to a drug store and get SODIUM SILICATE solution ( it comes in a mayonaise size jar, it is thick and clear looking ~$20)





pour this in the radiator and run the engine for awhile....how long?.that depends.....1 hour should do it





Then drain it and add water and antifreeze





This works 90% of the time and will last 2 or more years





I know this for a FACT!....my GTA needed this done and I have performed this repair dozens of times|||I would say no. You can even get it done without pulling the intake or distributor, just the exhaust and head stuff. Of course, a prettier job should result from pulling the engine. I guess I am assuming a v-8 engine or a 4.3 six. The 2.8 six is a problem I don%26#039;t want to address.|||well no not when you just have to remove intake and heads why remove motor and then remove intake and heads too would be twice same much work|||no. you should have plenty of room to work. pay close attention to the intake manifold when you take it apart, to make sure it wasn%26#039;t destroyed (severe pitting and corrosion) by never changing the coolant. and have heads checked by machine shop for cracks and flatness.
