Subject:Head Leak Questions...
From:kevin obrien

Hello All:

Awhile back my 1990 2.1L was plagued by overheating
problems and seemed like it was getting gasses in the
coolant.

I never resolved the issue...just pulled the engine
and replaced it with another I located.

In addition to a head gasket leak are there also seals
at the top of the pistons that can cause this. If
so...what are they called?

How can you tell if it is the head gasket or these
other seals that are leaking? Is it obvious if you
pull the heads?

All input appreciated.

Thanks
Kevin
