Subject:      head leaks- any stopgap measures?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed


Listees:
Both our new 90 and 91 Vanagons have slight head leaks (actually the
right side only on each one).
I've had  these motors apart before and  it's not my all time favorite
engine job.Also, I'm of the belief that ANY fix is a pretty short term
fix. Hell, when new, the 87's started leaking within 2 or 3 years of
being sold. Or have they  come up with better  antifreeze since then?
Has anyone out there had any experience with  stop gap measures, such as
scraping the corrosion off the leaking area and sealing up with RTV
silicone gasket cement or something similar?
P-mail me please!
