Question:
Weight loss & Toning at home?
Okay wellMy boyfriend is coming home from Iraq soon and I want to lose some of this weight and tone up by the end of the month(I know I won't be able to lose it all)Does anyone have advice on good toning exercises I can do at home and also a cheap diet? Thanks!
Answer:
its not the head gasket, thats what i had thought tooits actually the intake manifold gasketGM did not design them to resist DEXCOOL, so they disintegrate in a few yearsGm had a lawsuit concerning thisYou need to remove the intake manifold if you haven't already and replace the gaskets with quality gaskets from autozoneYou will need to remove the distributor, so be sure to mark itgood Luck might be a good idea to replace all hoses, and water pump while your at it
Cardo at least 40 minutes a day, and light weightsNo carbs after noon, no fried foods at allProtien (fish or chicken) and fresh fruit and veggies onlyCut back on sodium, and saturated fats and processed sugarsNo soda, perferably water onlyAny diet suppliment you take, will only work for the time being, and after he has been home awhile it will all come backThe only real way is exerciseGood Luck
The parts are not straightCheck with an aluminum ruler in all directions.

Could be 1 of 5 things Blown intake gasket Blown head gasket Cracked head Cracked block Warped head Most of the times you will not see a crack with your eyesThe head needs to be magnafluced or pressure tested to see if theres a crack Check your phone book for machine shopsAn engine machine shop will check a head for cracks for around $20-40 per head To check if its Warper you can do that with a true flat, straight edge like a long steel rule, and a feeler gaugeLay rule on bottom of head where gasket goes (all traces of old gasket cleaned off 1st), Try to slide a .001 feeler gauge under rule If warped a machine shop can mill head flat for around $35-50 per head
your head is probally warped,,what happens is that the aluminum warps when it gets HOT, more so than your iron block,creating a gap that your water flows through into your cylinder/sIf you get a straight edge and hold it across the surface of your head, you will see light shining through where the surface is warped,[a little bit is a LOT] You can take your head to a machine shop and have it resurfaced [as long as it aint too bad] or else you will need a new headSounds to me like your gonna need a new[pickpull ect] head.
