  • head gasket replacement problem/battery drain after about a week????!

    So I plan on replacing a head gasket that i got in a jeep that i purchased for a great price. I was wondering how long on average it takes for you or on average for anyone to do a head gasket in a straight 6. I have somewhat/decent mechanical experience but I have never taken a head off of a car. I have all the right tools, air tools, car lift in garage (sweet right), and anything else you can think of. I know it's a straight 6 and I heard its cake, but how long do you thing it would take a first time to do it after i read the how-to's and do's and dont's? I need to fix it asap because I need a car to drive before I head back to school that next morning. And also, if the exhaust manifold bolts break, are they easily replaceable or what? I haven't taken a look at how they are mounted...

    Also, that same cherokee drains its battery in like 3 or 4 days of standing, maybe a little longer. What may be the problem? I have a feeling like its the rear defrost staying on because I would not be able to turn it off...Would that be a resistor for it or just the switch itself?

    I would greatly appreciate any help given.
