Subject:      cracked heads

I recently posted a question re: my newly leaking head.  Everything was just
fine before my moderately lengthy trip.  What could cause it to crack or
start leaking?  I did drive at speeds of 80-85 MPH on my speedo.  I know for
a fact that my speedo is off by about 10-15 MPH on the high side, so I was
only really going about 70 MPH.  My tire size is: P195/75R14. I'm not sure
why the speedo is off, but it was one of the first things we did when we
bought it.

I'm hoping it's not a crack (obviously).  I should find out by the end of
the night.  I'm going to pull it into the garage and take a closer look.

I am unable to track down the sealing compound by part # that's in bentley.
The only place that can get it is the dealer at $11 for an unknown quantity.
What product can I use to seal the head nuts in place of this?


Thanks!
