this is an incredibly well put together video. I am astonished it does not have more viewership and engagement. Wish there was a part 3 for the rebuild.
You had me excited until about halfway through the first video when you started doing the timing cover, then I realized there is no way I can do this at my house. It went downhill from there. I want to get a car with a simple motor, haha. Question. I have a 2017 explorer 2.3l ecoboost that has a head gasket leak, but its leaking very little water and the engine hasn't overheated. How much does it cost to just replace a head gasket, without milling the head or getting a new engine block? If its insanely expensive, im honestly debating on just using some head gasket repair sealer and just taking a chance, if it seizes my motor, oh well.
Yeah they don’t make simple motors no more unfortunately 😂. I believe this head gasket job on a 2.3L is about 20 hours. Depending on the labor rate it’s going to be around $3,000 just for labor. I think I saw ChrisFix did a video about using head gasket leak fix. That might be a good watch for you to determine if you want to go that route.
@@GASZD i had just watched it today before you commented. I think I'll get a tester kit and make sure its coolant getting in the head and then do it. Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate it! There is indeed a part 3 of putting everything back together.

@@GASZD i mean it too, really, thanks for the reply, you answering the hours and approximate cost helped. I appreciate it. :)
