I am looking for some advice on my '86 Westy.

I just had it at the shop getting the transmission swapped out.  That went fine, but the mechanic noticed that the passenger side head gasket has a small wet spot on it - indicating the dreaded pitting of the heads is *probably* well under way on my van.

So - what's the best course of action for this?  Should I start saving to get the heads done now?  Any ideas on how long it can take from a wet-spot to a full blown leak?

Is it smart to replace the heads on an engine with 100K on it, or is it time to look into a rebuilt engine?  

Help?

Andrew
