Commanche,<br><br><br>Well, I figured I was going to enjoy myself as much as possible...holiday and all. Actually it started out as pretending to be calm so my wife wouldn't get any more worried than she already was. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid and all that.<br><br>Heard from my uncle today; he thinks it's worse than just a gasket. Maybe a warped or cracked head. Lovely, eh? I'll let him fix it, anything made after 1980 is beyond my feeble skills. <br><br>Your comments about engine sealers made me cringe. I could have used that, but never having checked for gasket leaks, I didn't know I needed to. Probably doesn't work after the fact, does it? I'll have to start being more conscientious about preventative maintenance. I check tires, belt(s) and fluids dilligently. Everything else, I just wait for it to break. Maybe I need to learn about newer cars...<br><br>Thanks for the reply,<br><br>Andy
