Blown engine? I just spent $2882 on new head gaskets, ARP racing studs and new T-stats and serpantine belt. Drove the truck a couple hundred miles and all of a sudden heard tapping, followed by loud metal to metal noices. I pulled over immediately and even though the mechanic gave me a warrenty on his work... he said this is going to cost me alot of money!!!
Questions: Is the duramax an interferance engine? How much damage can a timing chain do if it was improperly installed.
Engine ran great prior to mechanics work. Just pressurized coolant (head gasket) issue. Good oil pressure. No oil light. No leaking oil or coolant before or after work.
Thanks!
