I recently had my vehicle overheat. After doing some diagnosis have found my head gasket failed. I am in process of rebuilding and found block good, but heads need 24 thousandths removed for flatness. a few questions:
Can I take that much off and if so is there an oversized gasket available to use to maintain the right compression and specs?
If not, what are my options and where can I find new heads reasonably?
What else should be changed at same time other than water pump and timing chains?
Who has the best prices on these OEM parts?
Any knowledge anyone can pass on to make sure this doesn’t happen again as this is a major expense for something so simple as I stopped immediately upon overheating?
Any other help for this major undertaking is appreciated.
Thanks Chris
