Subject:leaking heads
From:Felix Bello

After 92k miles, heads are "finally" leaking.  Left side, about a 4-inch spot
overnight (6pm-8am).  Right side still dry.

Can I get on the road for a round trip Philadelphia/Chicago/Philadelphia ?
Does cold weather worsens the problem ?

I intend to keep this van for at least five more years and take long family
trips.  With that in mind what is the best solution; to rebuild heads or to
replace entire engine ?  How much should I expect to spend ?

Can anybody recommend a shop in the Philadelphia area ?

Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Happy holidays
