Good evening all, I am new to the group and am trying sort out a couple of issues with an 1999 3200GT; so far I have made some progress though still have some way to go. I think the head gasket has blown on the nearside bank of cylinders. its running really rough and will not rev above 2700 RPM;; the coolant system pressurises far too quickly and its loosing coolant. I carried out a compression test and the offside bank are all around 115/120 psi whereas the nearside bank are 90/95 psi. I have replaced the pedal position switch with one from Davey and David Askew has sorted out the TB for me, he also refurbed the rear shocks too, but clearly that's completely unrelated.
My questions are: Has anyone else experienced a blown head gasket and if so what were the symptoms? How difficult are they to change? Is it worth changing just the blown gasket and will the head need skimming? can anyone point me in the direction of a workshop manual?
Any assistance and or info will be greatly appreciated, there is no substitute for experience and I have a lot to learn about these motors so value your experience and knowledge.
Regards, Mark
