the hardware store will be trying to figure out why there is a run on rtv out of the blue!lolLittle rtv and a prayer and you're back in it!
Same spot on both head gaskets . Also, I purchased a little 1/4 inch impact gun a little while ago. Best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s seriously cutting time in half for meYes, it certainly appears to be.
I was actually gonna go get some JB weld hahaLittle rtv and a prayer and you're back in it!
They’ve already seen me enough, the amount of oil leaks I’ve fixed lolthe hardware store will be trying to figure out why there is a run on rtv out of the blue!lol
Rock
So both head gaskets did this? Did it happen to do this on both of the lower, corner coolant ports (the big, odd shaped holes that are different than the ones on the CDD gaskets)? If yes, then I will also assume that you didn't install the included tabs that go into those holes in the gaskets. If you didn't then that was most likely your entire problem.
I hope the deck surfaces are ok. Usually you will see some erosion of the block or head surface. Depends on how long you drove it like that though (and luck). Sometimes a catastrophic head gasket failure is better.
Well then there's your problem. Those are required for 6.9 head gaskets. They are metal that's wrapped in rubber (or something similar). Without those, you didn't have enough strength to hold back the compression. If they were to be examined closely, I'll bet that the fire rings are slightly distorted. Once the compression could get by them, then the gasket material didn't stand a chance of containing it. Just file this under "Lesson Learned".I definitely did not install those. That’s embarrassing. I feel like a moron.
Good lord, it sure is a lesson learned. Sorry I gave you guys any hope that I was a good mechanic .Well then there's your problem. Those are required for 6.9 head gaskets.

The first time that I was attempting to put heads back on a 6.9, I was told that "those tabs have to go in the lower corners of the 6.9 head gaskets. DO NOT leave them out". You probably didn't have that advice. You probably didn't realize that they're required. You also may have not even noticed them. Don't beat yourself up too badly. Just learn from the mistake. Or else call it testing like Wes would.Good lord, it sure is a lesson learned. Sorry I gave you guys any hope that I was a good mechanic .
