Subject:Re: Ever just repair one head? What happened?

Real world experience.

My brother's Westy blew a right side gasket.
He took it to the dealer to have it replaced under
warranty.
I told him that he needed to tell them to do BOTH at
the same time.
He did'nt listen, and right after the warranty
expired, the other head leaked.

Just like a worn pair of shoes- one may get a hole
first, but they are both worn out.
