Hello there eep, and thanks for replying.

I thought that the head would have to come off to fix the valves, in which case, I might as well do the head gasket too... right? Then if the block is messed up, wouldn't all that work be for nothing? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I looked in the radiator myself, but all I saw was some brown sludge... is that oil?

Sorry if my questions are dumb. I just did my first oil change only a month ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
