My friends GN kept overheating. We used a "blown Head tester" and the liquid stayed blue. He took it to a shady mechanic, he put in a new radiator, and now all of a sudden it's smoking from the tailpipes. It didn't smoke before we took the car to him. Even the car drives different and rides like junk.
We used the head tester again and sure enough the blue liquid turned yellow. It's my belief that the mechanic let the car overheat to get the head job secured [$1400]. I had a bad feeling about this guy and told him not to use this guy.
Anyway I noticed smoke was also coming from a pipe that connects to the turbo [I circled the part].
1. What are the 2 gaskets that connect those pipes?
2. Where can we get good head gaskets [part number please] from? the engine is a stock motor from 87 gn
3. After we get the he'd gaskets, what is the price range for someone to do this job?
Thank you any help is appreciated
