Thank you very much for this video, I like when the person talk alot while working and explain step by step, only wish was part 4 that the reassembly was missing when you put back all the accessories, I was little confused lol, and Torque on Rocket Arms, but was still able to do the job. Thanks again !

Just got the news my 08 Torrent has a blown gasket, too. Just one day, started over heating when in idle. Took it to the shop and its failed the tests. Otherwise well maintained, I've suspected a previous accident occurred with a prev owner, too. Watching through this, I feel a bit deflated with what it would take to resurrect the coach; but I'm glad to know what the solution is. Better to know thy enemy as it were. Thanks for walking us through this. welp.

[@anthonygallo129]

Whats the P/N on that broken hose from the air intake housing to the manifold in the rear. what function does it have? Also where does it connect in the rear engine?

[@jellopoolparty7112]

I busted the bolt on the thermostat housing on mine. Looks like I get to do a tear down just to get the bolt out.

For a DIY guy like myself, How long is the estimated time to get down to the head gaskets? Then how much estimated time to reinstall everything?

[@ralfsautomotive]

There are no special tools to speak off but you will likely spend an entire weekend.

Not bad at all.

No, those oil pans do not come off really really fast. If it’s an all wheel drive, it’s a jigsaw style pain in the ass. Aloha
