Coolant Leak Update Posted by Kirkster [Email] (#844) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Kirkster) on Wed, 9 Jul 2014 09:55:25 In Reply to: Re: Coolant Leak 2000 V6 9-5 Wagon, Kirkster [Profile/Gallery] , Mon, 7 Jul 2014 13:27:01 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've read so many posts here about the lack of problems with the V6 head gaskets but without a doubt my front bank head gasket is leaking coolant along the drivers side joint with the block. The two head bolts on that side are accessible without removing the front camshaft so re torquing them seems like the first thing to try. I had the cam cover off recently and noticed that the head bolts have torx heads and also that my 1/2 drive T60 torx socket is too fat to fit down into the recess where the bolt head is. A 3/8 drive socket seems like it would snap off under all that torque. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks.
