Well the inevitable seems to be approaching as I have the beginings
of leaking head gasket syndrome in my 85 Westie 1.9 litre. My
question is should I go ahead a have the job done for
800.00 using the silicone method on the heads or should I look to
upgrade the engine at this point...The engine has 136k miles so far.
The power question has always been a concern as well. Wondering about
the kennedy/ subaru option and anything else that seems to be working for
people. I've already put a fair amount into restoring the van and the
body, camper package etc. is in pretty good shape. Thanks in advance
for any helpful advice,
Rick
