Subject:Head gasket failure Q
Date:Fri, 7 Feb 1997 23:54:59 -0500 (EST)

Hi volks,

My 85 Westy is getting combustion gas into the coolant system.  Does this
mean that the problem is failure of the the thin green & black o-rings on the
cylinder jugs and/or the metal spacing rings between the head and the
cylinder jugs?

Are there any other possible causes?
