Head Gasket replacement?

Hi Bri

Thanx for taking the time to reply to my query. I think you're probably right, I guess I am a bit worried about buying another car, as I have spent so much on this one over the last year or so, think most things been replaced other than the engine!! Oh, and the gearbox.......hopefully I can find someone to come check one out with me, although I know that doesn't always garantee (excuse dodgy spelling!) road worthiness either............gonna have to think very carefullu.

Thanks again Bri, helped focus me in the right direction.

With thanks

Bad news. If your head gasket has gone, the head may be warped and you may need the cylinder head to be machined to a flat surface. This, plus the cost of the gaskets and labour costs is going to be expensive. Might be time to cut your losses and buy another cheap car rather than spend more on the one you have.
