1994 Cadillac Eldorado Head Gaskets

Yes Timeserts are better if you read the description I write that in there!!! Thanks for noticing.

Helicoils WILL fail, Timeserts aren't much better. Big Serts or Norms inserts are the best choice in inserts, but studding is the permanent fix.

Cadillac should be ashamed of themselves for putting people through this.

Helicoils are junk. Use timeserts. Nice to see your blowing all the aluminum shavings from the drilling and taping all inside the block. Motor should last a long time after that. You guys have a facility repair license to be doing all those repairs in your back yard?

Unfortunately, this is not a permanent repair. Eventually, the heli-coils will pull out of the block, just like the original head bolts. Doesn't matter if you do it perfectly right, they WILL pull out. Only permanent repair is to stud the block, then put back together with special nuts and washers. Northstar performance in Canada does this and provides a 5 yr. 100,000 mile warranty. About $2500 total parts and labor including a complete bottom end re-seal. Only permanent repair.

It cost around $500 for parts. Plus we charge $1500 for labor since the engine has to come out.
