Ok so my van has 353.000 miles and it needs a passenger headgasket. well i figured i would send it to a shop to replace the gasket and they told me they do not want to do it because 2 weeks after they replace the gasket the engine wil blow up.. now has anybody heard of this before? or is he just not wanting to do the job?

 

I would never take anything to that mechanic again.Thats just a **** poor excuse not to work on your truck because they probably no nothing about 6.5 TD's.

 

that's what i was thinking.. i can do the work myself but didnt really have the time to do it so i figured i would let them do it.. i know when i was talking to them he was complaining about all the stuff he would have to take off. O-well his loss

 

Not a fun job on a van-on a side note I would do both sides at the same time and have the heads gone through or replace with new aftermarket heads that are better quality than OE.
