So, last night my low coolant light came on. Worried about it I checked my coolant today after work and it was low. So, I checked to see if there was any leaks. Surprise, there wasn't. So I checked to see if there was exhaust entering the coolant. Surprise, there is. yeah.

So with the fact that I now have to replace the headgaskets, I've been thinking that maybe now is the time to give the ole girl a little pep in her step and throw in an LS9 cam.

Also, anything I should watch out for while doing the headgaskets? I'm already replacing a bad knock sensor and pcv valve. anything else?

I'm also replacing the coolant with this fleetguard Red extended life coolant we use at work (I work at a Cummins engine shop, so I get the stuff for dirt and we use it in million mile engines with no problem). I'm obviously changing the thermostat at the same time as well.

thanks guys.

 

Why you doing the LS9? Why not a better cam speced for your build?

 

it's cheap and it was just a thought to pep her up. she's stock with the exception of some bolt-ons. eventually I'll do an actual build, but that's way down the road and after I get some other important repairs done first (basicly my entire drivetrain is going out almost all at once, trans, x-fer case, and rear end especially)
