I have a 98 SL2 with 85k miles, that leaks significant amounts of oil and antifreeze. Also, it lacks a quite a bit of the power it used to have.
Is this a possible bad head gasket? Or, would a blown head gasket cause more/different problems?
Thanks. Jake
I had same problem, it was head gasket, i got the head planned to be sure it's strait, Checked for cracks. Your locky, 16 valves heads don't get cracked like 8 valves! "Jake292" a écrit dans le message de news:PtoGf.7870$ snipped-for-privacy@newsread1.news.atl.earthlink.net...
That's what I was afraid of. I went ahead and got some estimates, between $1,200 and $1,600. They said it would depend on whether the head needed to be replaced because of cracks or not. I wish I had a bigger garage, I would repair it myself.
