C900 Leaking Head Gasket Question
Posted by wittnam (more from wittnam) on Thu, 15 Mar 2001 09:36:46
Vehicle:  1990 900S 86k miles, auto trans.

Problem: Leaking headgasket

Scenario: Second headgasket in this car, first one replaced at 28k miles by
dealer, under warranty. Mechanic tells me now that headgasket is leaking on
driver's side between cylinder 2 and 3. I don't recall having to add
coolant or any drips on the ground or garage floor. Engine has never been
overheated.

Question: When I replace this headgasket, do I replace it with one from the
dealer or an aftermarket one, or is there a difference? If there is a
difference, please give me a brand name to buy. And, what's it cost to have
a headgasket replaced? Anything else come to mind that I should do while
this thing's apart?

Thanks in advance.

Glen Wittnam
