2006. 4.0 V6 head gasket overheating > REBUILD

Too late now. The OEM gaskets are already on.

 

I might have missed it, did you have them decked or did you just clean them up? If you just cleaned them up and put them back together you should be OK. I was responded to the other quote where he was going to cut them.

 

I already sent the heads to be resurfaced. Not sure exactly how much they cut.
I asked if they where warped bad and the guy said no. They cut very minimal.

 

It might be helpful if they could tell you how much they took off.

Not saying to do anything about it now but it could help down the road if this is your problem.

So I did a few searches trying to find that thread. Nada. The guy was very knowledgeable and imho, gave solid advice. I’ll keep on trying to find it. In the meantime, you might want to consider retitling this thread to something along the lines of - “Replaced My Head Gaskets, Now have (insert your codes), Help Needed”

This is more descriptive of your current situation and might draw more knowledgeable folks to the thread.

Good Luck !

 

I think we found my issue.
If you look back up. I was 1 tooth off on my crank gear and my chain.
@DocME found my issue.

 

Now I'm gonna try and reset everything to DTC and triple make sure all my timing is 100% on point. If this doesnt work then I'll come back and post on here.

 

Come back here if it DOES work!!

Good luck!

 

Will do.
I plan to upload all these photos in order as well.

 

All lined up this time.
Take #2

 

NOTE:
The water pump and the Oil cooler does NOT NEED TO BE REMOVED in order to take the timing cover off.

 

Are you saying that it was already lined up, or did you have to reset it?

 

No this is take #2. I lined it back up.
The 1st time it was off like you said.
So I lined up the timing Mark's again to TDC.
then lined the bottom chain up with the marking on the crank.
So we should be good.
Putting her back together now.

 

Sweet! Great to hear.

Also thanks for confirming the removal of the timing cover without removing the water pump.

 

No worries.
The 3 long bolts on each end of the water pump had to come off since those hold the timing cover to the block.
But the whole water pump itself did not have to come off.

 

As of now we are looking good.
No check engine codes.
No rough idle.
She sounds and feels good.
Thanks for everyone's input and help.
I'll upload pictures soon.

 

Just to confirm.
DYNICRON in Stockton CA removed
.004
On my heads.

 

So , finally , you did not using the custom thickness head gaskets for this , right ?

 

No I went with someone on here. Works for toyota dealership. He got me a good discount on OEM parts.
My truck has 200k miles with the oem gasket so I decided to put another oem gasket in hoping it would last another 200k.
