ted tcb Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I’m sure that Bruce can verify this. Other sites have mentioned that Crest Cadillac in Plano Texas has now performed there first head gasket repair using Jakes’ stud kit. The car was a 2001 Deville, and the mechanic was Gus. I guess my question for Bruce is, was this simply a one off repair due to the customer’s insistence on studs, or, is Plano considering changing from the approved timesert procedure? 1989 FWD Fleetwood, Silver 1995 STS Crimson Pearl on Black leather 1997 STS Diamond White 1999 STS Crimson Pearl 2001 STS Silver 2003 STS, Crimson Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Nunnally Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Certainly I can't speak for Crest, but it is interesting and I can ask them about it the next time I get by there (hopefully not soon, knock on wood).

Ranger Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I believe it was the costumers request, but Crest had heard of Jake's stud kit and was eager to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 new headbolts and timeserts are $300 or so. of course dealer gets headbolts at cost. than charges customer standard markup. studs are $550? i wonder if total fix is similar when all is said and done.
