    I am working on a 2007 Freightliner with a Mercedes om 460 la. I am needing to replace the #2 head gasket. Any directions will help!

    Very straight forward IMHO.
    Be sure to replace the 4 head bolts and check liner height too. 9-13 thou IIRC

    check head surface, if you sugest it is not good, pull out injector, valves and decompressor (if equiped) and resurface head

    Reajust valve lash!

    It's probably the liner leaking, not the head gasket. MBE has released an updated cylinder liner to reduce coolant leaks past the liner flange. Just FYI
