Subject:2.1 overheating/Heads questions...need input
From:kevin obrien

Hello All:

A few years back my 1990 Carat had overheating
problems. I came across a deal on a rebuilt 2.1 engine
and had it installed...and stored the overheating one.

I need to put the old engine back into service (it has
about 50k on it) and I'm looking at having the heads
and gaskets replaced...hoping this fixes the
overheating I was experiencing awhile ago.

My question is...Are there any seals at the top of the
pistons...or anything else that should be
checked/replaced while I'm having the heads done that
could have added to the overheating problem?

Suggestions  appreciated....

Cheers!
Kevin
