Are you absolutely positive it is the head? I put a new engine in my Syncro
and not 1000 miles down the road, I had coolant coming out (that I thought was
from the driver side head)...A very close inspection by me seemed to confirm
this. The dealer however was able to find a coolant hose that was the real
culprit (under the driver side fuel injection system). All the angles in the
world (for me) couldn't see this leak. May yours be so simple.
