New Head Gasket Set from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ib/1AEGS00237
In this video, 1A Auto shows you how to replace head gaskets on a small block Chevy 350 / 5.7L engine. While we did this on a 1996 GMC Sierra K1500, this process is essentially the same on all small block Chevrolet engines.

Wondering wil this work on a 2000 Cadillac Escalade
THANK YOU TONS, I JUST SWAPPED MY 350 TO 305(ALL i COULD FIND AT THE TIME)BUT BLEW HEAD GASKET AS NEED TO GET DIFFERENT SHROUD TO FIT, SO WENT WITHOUT IT COUPLE DAYS IN HEAT AND BLEW IT. SO NOW, I HAVE TO HANDLE THIS NICE NEW JOB…BUT HEY YOUR VIDEO AND THE IDEA OF USING CUTOUTS FOR ALL BOLTS AND ROCKERS, ETC IN THE RIGHT PLACES FOR RE-INSTALLING…FREAKING AWESOME IDEA
THANK YOU TONS, LOOKS LIKE I HAVE ME SATURDAY PLANNED NOW!! AND YES I'M A GIRL WHOM LOVES WORKING ON HER OWN 1980 CHEVY K5 BLAZER!!!
I found that the pushrods are just short enough to fit into sandwich bags. I just label a sandwich bag for each rocker assembly and separate them that way
Wow….you are so clear! THANK YOU
NEW VIDEO IDEA: Please do a video on unceasing an engine that is taken apart like this.
Spectacular video on the subject. Where do you find torque specs and sequences?
How many billable hours was this?
Great video just wondering how long did it take you to do all that
38:28 Legend has it that razor is still in the engine.
Just got my heads off. What a mess inside. Ima take a few nights cleaning everything up before going back in on installing.
What happens if you do rotate it counter clockwise I asked because I did turn it back like 2 inches the first time.
I replaced a head gasket on a 4 cylinder and didn’t have to remove the push rods and rocker arms. Can I still get this done without removing them on the 5.7?
In the process of doing my 96 Silverado 305. I hope I get it right.
awesome video thank you
Whatever camera you used was great. Image was crystal clear.
the background music put any1 else to sleep?
Where is the crankshaft sensor located on this motor?
It wasn't a bad how to video except, at no point in the video did you talk about machining your heads, or even checking them for cracks .which you would want to do if you had a blown head gasket! Also you left off the exhaust heat sheilds!
Just bought a 1988 Chevy 1500 5.7 350 V8. Drove it home from San Antonio to Dallas and it drove smoothly, the next day it overheated and the check gauges light came on. I pulled over and let truck cool off topped off coolant . Now it’s smoking out the tailpipe, and the engine oil is milky . Sound like this could be a blown head gasket? Previous owner said thermostat and hoses were never replaced. It also feels like the hoses are crunchy when I squeeze it. Can anyone help?
I'm very confused here. Your video says to torque the heads down to 22 foot pounds but if you Google it other sources say the head should be torque down to 65 foot pounds. I also find it hard to believe that 22 is all that's holding these heads on. Either way that's a significant difference and my torque wrench only goes down to 30 so I'm going to have to go buy another torque wrench if your video is accurate.
Honestly if you can replace head studs with bolts and you live in the rust belt I reccomend to do it
The same way you do every other engine.
This engine looks like it was burning oil , he should have pulled the engine and done a cheap rebuild , new rings and hone the cylinders plus new valve seals at the very least .
If your engine is still on #6 compression TDC from doing your second round of valve adjustments, be sure and rotate it one more full turn back to #1 compression TDC before installing the distributor. Not sure if this was mentioned.
