THAT (only replacing the head and/or gasket) is the dumbest thing you can do to an ISX engine.. !!!!!!!... THE HEAD GASKET WILL NOT FAIL ON AN ISX UNLESS A LINER IS DANCING IN THE BLOCK!!!...

All someone will be doing is wasting a WHOLE LOT OF TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEYS if all someone did was replace the head and gasket!.


THE WHOLE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!.. THE PROBLEM IS NOT AT THE HEAD GASKET WHERE IT FAILED!!!.. IS IT DOWN IN THE ENGINE BLOCK!!!!

It will end up just like this scenario ....

Otherwise, it is nothing but a half-arssed repair that any OEM shop can do.. and the truck owner eventually hating their truck, their engine, and everyone for all the time, efforts, and moneys wasted!... on my forum here crying about how they have spent $70,000 on repairs only to have it broken again!.
