I had my 85 stock westy inspected and some brake work done and the mechanic
says I should replace the leaking heads. I may have jumped the gun and
ordered the GW super duper ($$$) reworked AMC heads. The thing is my OE
heads have been leaking for the last 20 years and 60K I've owned it. The
major leaking occurs during the winters while it's stored in my garage so
when spring comes I have to top up the fill tank with about a qt of
coolant. Summer it does drip but nothing major. Engine runs fine with no
white exhaust smoke. My question is what are the main reasons for replacing
heads and how do you know when you've reached that point?
