HEADS UP: newb on newb advice...

The O ring... I may be way off base here but aren't the head gaskets actually rubber? Not an "O" ring but... and this could also account for hte white smoke (coolant blow by) - he did say he see's a puff upon accleleration...

Having the head gaskets done by a shop is spendy I hear... but would it be 900?

let the flaming bgin...

this post brought to you in my conintuing quest for the mythical 30th post!
