looking to replace the headgasket on a 86 5000 turbo q

TTurntable · 01-30-2009, 09:25 AM

Anyone have a write up on this, I need to get the bentley for the 5000 as I have the 100/200 one. also this will be be first time doing this repair on this motor. Anything to look out for? Saving a 86 that is in very good shape but has bad gasket.

I've got one off an '87 5KTQ in good shape I'd let go for cheap.

..... while a-talks offer is a nice one... if you were to get a spair head to rebuild I'd get an NF code head off a 87-88 5ksq. The NF head offers bigger valves.
I sold an NF head to Jim (Jurq)...... he could give you some info... or do a search.
Actually I'm know there are a bunch of listers who have done that.

Yes that's the one. Has a spare motor but not sure if I could do the swap, I'd need some help but I know I can at least pull the head have it rebuilt and fix the gasket.
