Yes I understand Terry. I think the head gasket is made of that gasket in a tube
stuff...what brand/type should I get if
I'm going to fix it myself?
I cant see any bubbles in the radiator but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. It does
seem as though there is water in
the cylinders...
I've been meaning to check the valve clearances too...the 180B manual says to check
them every 10,000 kms so
probably the same for the 200B.
