Yea, been off for a while, had to put the 120" back together aswell and give it to my brother, here's what I found





Do you think its been leaking?

Will get another head gasket next week and stick it back together, the head asket has a sealant on it, obviuosly stuffed now, anyone had any luck with spray on hilomar?

Glad that's all it is. Make sure you get the genuine ISUZU gasket.

I always use VHT copper gasket cement. Cheaper than Hylomar, and hasn't let me down yet.

I was only thinking about useing, Hylomar, so I can use the old/new head gasket, but I'll give it a miss and get a new one with sealant on it
