The Project


This is my brother's 1999 Ford Ranger. Its a 4 cylinder, 2.5L, with a 5 speed manuel transmission. As you can see, it got into a little fender bender. The accident caused the upper radiator hose to crack, leaking coolant and allowing the engine to overheat. I replaced the radiator hose, refilled the coolant, but the engine still overheats.


I've had a couple people listen to the engine and the consensus is that I've blown a head gasket.

 My Mission: Confirm the diagnosis by removing the head and checking the gasket. If the head gasket don't turn out to be the problem, then I have to find out what is.

...and FIX IT!!
