This is not Photoshopped. Tire is lit with lighter fluid and the ensuing explosion seats tire bead to rim. Handy when you in the Outback without a Hunter machine!

What dose it take to replace a head gasket on a Ford Taurus 3.0L V6 OHV Engine?

Well... i got to find out first hand, and you get to watch and enjoy!

if your about to do this job your self please watch and you will have a good understanding of how to do it. or at least whats involved.

This was a weekend project and i thought i would document it for fun... and to help others.

This would have cost me between $1200-$1600 as a local shop. depending on where i took it.

i did this job my self for just over $200 including the fallowing:

head gasket kit
new head bolts
new coolant reservoir
new coolant
new spark plugs
RTV Black sealant
Quick set epoxy
and some coolant system flush.

for me it was better than buying a new car...

lets hope it lasts...

God bless and have fun!

Some time life throws you curve balls... for me i swing hoping to hit it out of the park... this time i did! :)

This classic 1979 Fiat 2000 Spider show-car was a victim of severe industrial paint overspray. Once in the Esoteric Auto Detail studios however, Todd Cooperider was able to save the car through careful and painstaking paint restoration. The Fiat's paint now looks better than ever, and this award-winning car will be the envy of the concours lawn!

Most of us have the usual wrenches, air tools, and maybe a drill press and grinder. Next comes the basic metal lathe which is indispensible for maching new parts or fixing old ones. This early film shows how it's done. Used lathes can be bought on eBay for a few hundred bucks.
