I am thinking about replacing the head gasket on a 97 Indy Classic 500. It seems to be losing a little bit of coolant on a regular basis- It only seems to loose it while running. There appears to be some wetness comming from the head.
What do I have to do to replace the head gasket? Should I perform a compression test before I replace the head gasket? I will note the condition of the pistons when the head is off. My final question is what are the torque specs for the head bolts? I read on another post to Torque them bring the sled up to temp and retorque a couple of times.
Anything else I am missing?
Thanks
Steve
