Jk. Possibly take it to a local shop if you can't and get them to do it. (If they **** up they gotta fix whatever they broke for free anyways)


Make sure it's a reputable shop. If it's not they'll fix it with super glue and duct tape. Ask me how I know lol.


How do you know? I like your experiences


Once upon a time I had a truck that the head gaskets were in the middle of blowing on (oil in the coolant, overheating, etc.). Not fully blown, but not far from it. Me being a young guy, I couldn't afford to take it to a dealership or a known mechanic so I took it to a "shade tree mechanic" we'll say. He was an actual mechanic, had his licence and a professional set up, so to me the only thing that set him apart was he worked for himself in his garage instead of with others at a shop. I drop my truck off, and about 2 weeks later I get a call saying its done and to come pick it up. He says he pulled the whole engine, replaced the heads and head gaskets and re-surfaced the block. In reality all he did was poured some magic fixafluid in the radiator that masked the problem for about a week, then clogged the radiator and left me with a whole new set of problems, on top of the original one.

I learned the cheap way out costs twice as much lol.
