I only replaced a couple, not real common. Putting a head gasket on these arent that bad.I would just replace the gasket and check the head with a straight edge for warpage.

Here in Malaysia because of corruption, the quality of the fence is suspect. Don't be surprised if the fence gives way.

Well, I fixed the problem, it was plugged up steam holes in the head gasket. Mechanics dont maitain their own vehicles, so it was my bad. Truck back on the road again, happy happy joy joy
