Has anyone else had the experience of getting head gasket leaks after
moving to a colder climate? After spending all their lives in Southern
California, both my 87 Westy (80,000 miles) and my 88 Westy (150,000
miles) started seeping coolant at the head gaskets (on both sides of the
engine) during the first winter we spent in Lake Tahoe. Nighttime temps
were usually in the teens for 3-4 months. Do cold temps promote head
gasket leaks?---especially with older gaskets?
Can the metal of the engine contract enough in cold temps to cause the
seepage?
Just wondering,
Lee
