    Blow Head Gasket

    7mge's are an evil motor

    they are also known for spinning bearings and leaking copious amount of oil.

    if you do a head gasket
    do up the head bolts tighter like 80 foot pounds i think
    as from factory they were torqued to low at 50 thats why headgaskets blow.

    all 7M's blow their head gaskets, its just a matter of when. the why is a bit of a mystery, but the general concensus was that the torque on the head bolts is far too low. reason is said to be that they changed the HG material at the last minute before production and forgot to change the torque spec. the other theory is that apparently there is a cooling line behind cylinder 6 in the head that was never drilled out. the passage way is there in both the head and block, but just didn't get drilled for some reason. i've heard of people drilling this out with success but who knows really.
