CAR GUYS, STEP UP PLEASE -- ENGINE, MECHANICAL

UPDATE.........

 

Got a call yesterday.  They pulled a head.  The gasket is bad.

They are pulling  the other head and sending them out to be

milled or surfaced, or whatever term is used.  They will be

magnafluxed and all that. 

 

Problem.  This is going to cost me more money.  I can't find a

way to pin this on any previous work that they have done. 

But, how is it that both head gaskets went at the same time.

I got no indication of overheating.  They found water in the

converter from being sucked in, then blowing out the exhaust.

 

I should have checked that they properly filled the radiator

when they did the work the first time, but I didn't, so I can't say

they didn't have enough coolant in the system.

I just fixed all the problems with my 06 Subaru... I traded it in on a new to me truck truck-like SUV thing LOL! Sorry you are having suck problems with yours. 

 

Fixed.  Not so sure that's an upgrade.  Explorers have their own set of problems.
