Message	The stuttering resulted from a loose bracket .. but that was easily fixed. The hose came loose at the same time the head gasket blew... not sure if it also contributed in the failure. I would assume a sudden drop in pressure would more likely protect the engine. The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.
