Hi, I think my head gasket blew? getting water in crankcase and running hot. I went to a shop around the corner and the guy refused the job saying when you do a gasket job you have to replace the timing chain cover? and when you loosen the timing chain? sometimes the parts come apart in pieces? Is this true? How did the timing chain get involved to do a head gasket? I'm no mechanic but might become one for this job since he said it might cost 13 to 1600.00 to change a head gasket? Does any of this sound logical to anyone ? Thanks for any help anyone can provide Harry

Hi there,
You look like you know what your doing with motors? I'm looking for advice. My head gasket went and I was going to have a shop do the work. But the guy I went to refuses because he said when you take the head off you have to replace the timing chain cover and loosen the timing chain? and sometimes the parts come apart in pieces? and you lose the bottom mark for the timing chain when you remove the cover? Does this sound logical? Thanks for ay iput you can offer
Harry
I looked and don't understand how the timing chain is involved to change a head gasket?
