Head gasket repair 87 GN

[Kingsley Coleman]

Im in need of replacing a head gasket on my 87 GN. I have the new GM gaskets. I'm wondering are there any guys in the Georgia area (I'm 30 minutes south of ATL airport) willing to help with replacement, do it for a fee, or recommend any shops or mechanics that can do it?

I would be glad to help but it's a little far away. Several guys up that way.

Thanks for the offer.

Save yourself the money and headache by trying a bottle of Blue Devil first. I know a few people who've had success repairing their engine by adding a bottle to it. Don't get lazy though and use the 16oz Pour N Go. Make sure you get the 32oz bottle, remove your thermostat, and follow the instructions.

There is so much I want to say to this right now and I keep deleting what I really want to say........

There is no such thing as liquid head gaskets on a Buick. I have become well versed on how to blow them up, unfortunately.

Bearings and coolant dont mix well and coolant and oil dont mix well. I dont think that I would ever use that either. My son used radiator stop leak on his car and I just patted him on the shoulder.

Ok Georgia GN guys don't all speak up at once. I got beer, money, and whatever else you need. Lets get this repair on the road.

I don't want to volunteer anybody but I know Earl Brown lives in your area, you might want to message him directly.
I can help you if you dont mind trailering your car to Beaufort SC

Thanks for the offer. I dropped it off at Commando Racing in Savannah.

Man, all the way to Savannah for a head gasket, I would think there would be someone more local to ya.

I didn't want to wait and these guys were well recommended by a few people. I wanted someone knowledgeable to check everything out. They are thinking it may be valve seals or guides. Gotta pull heads anyway.

Chuck Leeper is a moderator here and is in Madison, GA. You can do a search for his name.

How did it turn out?

 

[Kingsley Coleman]

Turned out great. The number 6 cylinder of the block was scoured pretty bad. End up getting a upgraded forged short block. Made great power until the trans started slipping. Now waiting on trans from Extreme Automatics.

What symptoms did you explain to that shop?

Smoking and low cylinder compression
