Title: Head Gaskets :(
Post by: tbxid2002 on 16 February 2008, 20:49:53

Hi Omega people,

Just 2 let ya's know VO02 isn't doing so well, She's quite ill. Gotta do the head gasket on both sides as kinda pointless just doing 1, would you replace the oil cooler as well? :( im not looking forward 2 doing it. But love the car so it'll be worth it eventually.
Anybody know any tips or pointers in the right direction?
Thanks Mark
