Head gasket replacement?

Quimrider · 02-20-2009, 12:40 PM

Thought I'd post an update to let you guys know how things turned out. I had my local shop fix it. Turns out I must have slightly overheated the cylinder head as it had slightly warped contributing to the head gasket leak. $330 later they had machined the head flat and replaced all the gaskets from the cylinder up. She purrs nicely again.

With that $330 lesson in mind, I guess it really isn't a good idea to ride WOT for extended periods of time.
