After getting a quote of $1800 for head gasket replacement, my mechanic friend Charlie (240D (2)) decided we're gonna do it ourselves. I'm hoping braingears or steaky has the job. Will keep y'all posted on our progress. REALLY looking forward to the head test to see if it's cracked. Will post pics of anything of particular interest...deck hammering, etc. Parts ordered - the fun commences soon! Chris
