Are you sure the head is cracked, rather than just the head gasket failed? Head gasket is likely to be much cheaper and likely easier to source locally

Does the rev counter do that without driving?12 Fuse is normal. Without driving and not accelerating rev counter looks good +- |

(head gasket on these is done without removing the chain assembly and timing cover). Cam sprockets are unbolted and have the chain on, tension is removed from the tensioner and the sprockets sit in a casting on the timing cover, head slides out and up (having disconnected the inlet, exhaust, water outlet, a few water pumps bolts, and some timing cover bolts. On re-fit, crank t 90degrees before TDC (all pistons to the half way), head on, set the cams and lock them, bring the pistons to TDC and and lock the crank. Cam sprockets bolted on, tensioner released and tighten the bolts. |

If they want to be ignorant, obnoxious knobjockeys, then let them, and undertake them as safely as possible.
Undertaking is only considered dangerous, and therefore illegal, if you repeatedly weave in and out of the traffic in a erratic manner. In short, pass on the left without dwadling, dithering or speeding and stay in the left lane for as long as physically possible without tailgating the vehicle in front. Getting all pissed off about it isn't a solution to anything. |

Also a moot point once they've been replaced as there isn't a single supplier of ball joints that supplies them with rivets.Hence I always suggest people with GM ones refurb them, rather than replace with crap. Its a bit extra work, but cheaper and will last longer. And being bolted on actually makes them MORE serviceable, not less |

And what does the battery gauge do when the rev counter fluctuates? Is Fuse 12 intact? |
