My 250T has blown a headgasket again. The first time it happened it properly overheated and I took the engine out and had it fixed by the shop. Straight after I got it going again i took it for a drive and it started to overheat again (although this time I noticed before it got anywhere near the top of the temp guage) so i got the AA to take it home.
It turned out that there was a tiny leak in the radiator inlet hose which must have happened when bending the hose to remove the engine. Needless to say i replaced the hose but it looks like the headgasket has blown again because there are bubbles coming out of the radiator.
I'm coming to wits end with this car and would love to just sell it but have had little interest http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=273948173. I'm now thinking of doing the head gaskets myself and am wondering how big of a job it is. Can anyone tell me if it is easy to get to the head bolts once the rocker cover is removed or do you have to disassemble the heads? Also, is there anything else very challenging I should know about?
