You have another bad LLY head gasket, they all do it eventually. Their really no different from the lb7 and it's injector issue. You just have to deal with it, just fix it right the first time with grade c gaskets and arp 625's it isn't gonna be an issue again. I know it's frustrating but it seems like you got a killer deal on it anyway and it woud cost a lot more to replace it than fix it...

Tell that to the contractor who lives around me with his 450k mile all stock never touched 05 LLY.

Or the lawn maintenance guy with 375k on his stock 05 LLY.

Or my own truck that had almost 100k of big single and twins abuse, hundreds of quarter mile passes, 50psi++ boost, etc.. I lost a couple pistons, the head gaskets were fine when I tore it down.

They arent "ALL" going to do it. This is nothing like the LB7 injector thing.

And WTF does he need ARP 625's for? You dont even know how to work on these engines, so why are you throwing advice around for parts you've never even touched/used?

:baby:...

And I know of several 200,000 plus mile lb7's on stock injectors. There are always gonna be exceptions to the rule...

So what's your point...:rofl:

Once again you add nothing but drama to a thread, get lost or help the OP. Otherwise STFU...:thumb:

Sounds good to me. I was a little higher for a set of arp's and Merchants complete gasket set.

started tearin into my truck today and i noticed a pool of coolant under the truck, previously never saw a leak. so i ran the truck and tracked down the leak to the weep hole on the water pump. is there any way this could be my problem to start with or just a coincidence? i just want to make sure before i do all this work then find out it was just a bad water pump

Blown water pump could be caused by excessive cooling system pressure. Ive heard of a few ppl having waterpump issues right after doing headgaskets when they reused the pump.

Shouldn't be too many parts past the stuff you already have. I bought the hg gasket kit from MA, studs from UDP, water pump, 2 new thermostats, and some misc coolant hoses to replace dry rotted or cracked lines,coolant, oil, filter, and of course the cost of machine work. I think I wound up at around $1800 and change by the time it was done. Definately cheaper than paying someone to do it.

I did add downpipe, intake, deletes and crap like that, but that was all for performance stuff, not related to headgaskets.... just figured it'd be easier to do while everything was apart.

Be sure to bag the parts and where they go. Also take lots of pictures of the fuel line hold-downs/insulators, and how they are positioned. It will help a lot when you go back together.
