Any idea how much this process would cost?
Also, just to update... I did buy a Block Tester. I Syphoned my fluid out of the rad. just enough to make sure it didn't get sucked into the tester.
I did the test 3 times, going nice and easy on the ball as to not suck in air too fast, And each time... It changed to yellow fairly quickly.
After having a long talk with Fuji (AvPPoW) I have decided to hold off on doing this, until I can get the needed time off to do it slowly and correctly.
Since this will be my first time doing a job like this, I am planning on taking 5 days off. I have 8 hours of Vacation, so I plan on doing it between work weeks as to not loose any hours.
Parts I have so far: Head Gasket, Valve Cover Gasket, and Spark Plug Tube Gaskets. Anything else I should get with this, that would fit my very limited budget?
