Thank you all for the information. We removed the head gasket which was stuck very hard to the head and stuck hard to the block. I wish I knew how to send a picture because I would. We peeked through the exhaust openings and the rings look to be in great shape. The cylinders also looked pristine with no grooves or wear. We are feeling good about that. I’m putting in an order tomorrow for a new gasket for the head and we are going to do the sanding trick you all sent (thank you). Any opinions on which gasket is better…… the OEM or the Sierra? And also the coils (we need new ones)……is the Sierra ones an upgrade from the OEM? Also any ideas on where is the best place to get complete set of decals? My husband is in Autobody and is going to paint it while we have it torn apart. Sorry for all the questions but it’s been a lifesaver to get these answers so far, you are all so helpful. Ps…. I figured out how to add photo.
