Ford Repair: Head Gasket replacment, replacing head gasket, clutch fan


Question
I have a 1992 ford f-700 with a 7.0 liter gas engine. After replacing Thermostats,Clutch fan, And Radiator. I now have found coolant leaking out of exhaust manifold on drivers side. Also, there is antifreeze in the oil pan. I suspect blown head gasket. What all is involved with replacing head gasket.

Answer
    Normally I would kick this question for being too involved. However, today you are in luck. I just came back from an extended vacation and am feeling frisky. I don't think that I would buy any parts until I had a machine shop take a look at the heads. I never do one head at a time either, take them both off. You want the machine shop to inspect the heads for cracks and warpage also. If and when you get the heads back from the machine shop with a clean bill of health, buy the parts you need. Wherever you go to get the parts, make sure that you are talking to their "parts pro." Most of you're retail parts stores aren't going to list a F-700 in their computer's, so whomever you use, will need to go to the catalog. One other note, replace all of you're fuel injection o-rings, if applicable.
