Sounds like he had more problems than gaskets!!! If the base gaskets leak, it's usually a vacum leak and goes lean, and not a "blow out". CR

He switched to ROTAX brand and cured the problem.

Yes I know they can be made to work and I know that this is how they did things in the old days. I don't like them though; they don't seal coolant passages very well. Can someone tell me where to get proper head gaskets and maybe a part number. Thanks! JV --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
